Longwell in Celtic League fitness battle

Gary Longwell may yet recover, from a severely bruised shoulder, to take his place on the Ulster team to face Glasgow in the Celtic League quarter-final on Saturday.

The side will be announced tomorrow afternoon and it is likely that a vacancy will be left in the second row to allow Longwell all the time he needs to prove his fitness.

Apart from Paddy Wallace, and possibly Longwell, coach Alan Solomons will have a full squad at his disposal.
