Longwell fit for AIL final

Ireland second row Gary Longwell looks like recovering from a neck injury to take his place in the Ballymena second row, alongside Ulster team-mate Mark Blair, for the All Ireland league final against Clontarf on Saturday at Lansdowne.

This will probably lead to former Ireland Under 21 captain Matt McCullough’s re-location to the blindside, where he has made such an impact through the season.
