McLaughlin names 27-strong squad

Ulster coach Brian McLaughlin has named an extended 27-man squad ahead of their Heineken Cup game against Edinburgh on Friday night, at Ravenhill.

McLaughlin commented: "Friday's a massive game; we are all itching to get back to a game. Rugby is the players' job, they work hard all week with a view to getting out there and playing on a Friday night, so they're disappointed when that doesn't happen.
