Ulster pick strong side to face Bulls

Ulster's coach has selected the strongest possible side available to him to meet South African Super 12 outfit The Bulls at Ravenhill on Friday night.

David Humphreys, Kevin Maggs and Ireland Under-21 Tommy Bowe have been taken out of the equation by international commitments.

Adam Larkin, Shane Stewart and Scott Young return to the Ulster starting fifteen and Tyrone Howe has been included on the left wing, sufficiently recovered from an adductor injury.

Rowan Frost comes in to replace Matt McCullough in the second row who has been advised by the medical staff to keep the weight off his foot following a small knock picked up against The Ospreys.

ULSTER (v The Bulls): Bryn Cunningham; Scott Young, Paul Steinmetz, Shane Stewart, Tyrone Howe; Adam Larkin, Kieran Campbell; Simon Best, Rory Best, Rod Moore, Gary Longwell, Rowan Frost, Campbell Feather (Capt), Neil Best, Roger Wilson.

Replacements from: Ronan McCormack, Paul Shields, Declan Fitzpatrick, Tim Barker, Matt Mustchin, Seamus Mallon, Paddy Wallace, Reece Spee.
