Springbok Muller to lead Ulster in friendly

New signing Johann Muller will captain Ulster in tomorrow's pre-season friendly against Bath at Ravenhill (kick-off 7.30pm).

South Africans Muller and Pedrie Wannenburg will start for the first time with experienced forwards like Bryan Young, Nigel Brady and Justin Fitzpatrick around them.

There is a youthful look to the selected Ulster back-line, with the back-three of Jamie Smith, Mark McCrea and Tommy Seymour having an average age of just 22.

Tom Whitten and Darren Cave form the centre pairing, while Ian Humphreys and Paul Marshall are the starting half-backs.

ULSTER (v Bath): Jamie Smith; Mark McCrea, Darren Cave, Ian Whitten, Tommy Seymour; Ian Humphreys, Paul Marshall; Bryan Young, Nigel Brady, Declan Fitzpatrick, Tim Barker, Johann Muller (capt), Pedrie Wannenburg, Willie Faloon, Robbie Diack.

Replacements: Andi Kyriacou, Paddy McAllister, Adam Macklin, Neil McComb, Thomas Anderson, Ian Porter, Niall O'Connor, Nevin Spence.
