Mark McCall has today named a 23 man squad to travel to Stradey Park and take on the Scarlets this Friday night.

Ulster welcome back five Irish Internationals to the squad following Ireland's early departure from the Rugby World Cup. Isaac Boss and Paddy Wallace return to the fold alongside Bryan Young, Rory Best and Stephen Ferris.

Ireland U'20s stars David Pollock, Darren Cave and Kieran Hallett have not been included in the 23 man squad to make way for the Internationals to return. Former Northampton Saints centre Seamus Mallon also returns to the squad after being omitted for the Dragons game.

Ulster had a disappointing result against the Dragons on Saturday at Rodney Parade and now sit bottom of the Magners League table whilst their opponents this weekend Llanelli scored a resounding victory over a stunned Leinster in Dublin over the weekend to secure their 2nd place spot on the table.

With Ulster having only played three games compared to Llanelli's five, McCall will be hoping that his more experienced internationals can inject some confidence into a side that has lost two out of three fixtures so far in the 2007/08 Magners League.

McCall will name his starting line up by noon on Thursday.

BACKS:

Paul Marshall; Isaac Boss; Niall O'Connor; Paddy Wallace; Tommy Bowe; Seamus Mallon; Simon Danielli; Mark McCrea; Mark Bartholomeusz; Bryn Cunningham

FORWARDS:

Bryan Young; Justin Fitzpatrick; Nigel Brady; Rory Best; Matt Miles; Tom Court; Justin Harrison; Tim Barker; Carlo Del Fava; Matt McCullough; Neil McMillan, Roger Wilson; Stephen Ferris
