Ferris back for Ulster

Ulster Coach Matt Williams has welcomed Stephen Ferris back into a 25-man squad to travel to Swansea this weekend to take on The Ospreys in the Magner's League on Saturday.

Ferris is looking forward to the challenge: “I am really glad to be getting the chance to play this weekend; I don’t mind if I play 6 or 8, I am just looking forward to getting some game time and getting back on that pitch.

“We always seem to do alright against the Ospreys, and if we can cut out the errors from previous games and keep our set piece play tight, then I think we can get a result. It will be a tough task against the Ospreys, they are an impressive side, it is going to be strange playing against Tommy but the friendships will be left behind in the changing room,” continued Ferris.

ULSTER SQUAD (v Ospreys):

Justin Fitzpatrick; Nigel Brady, Tom Court, Rory Best, Brendon Botha, Carlo Del Fava, Ed O’Donoghue, Ryan Caldwell, Matt McCullough, Kieron Dawson, Robbie Diack, Thomas Anderson, Stuart Philpott, Stephen Ferris;
