Wallace and Court back for Ulster

Ireland internationals Paddy Wallace and Tom Court will be part of Ulster's squad to play The Ospreys at Ravenhill in the Magner's League this Friday night (ko 7.05pm).

Coach Brian McLaughlin said: "I am delighted to welcome Tom and Paddy back from Irish duty and have no doubt that they will further bolster a squad that has already gelled impressively in our pre-season encounters.

"We've had three good warm-up games in August that have allowed the management to trial a wide range of players but it only starts counting from now and we are looking forward to testing ourselves in the tournament opener against last season's winners."
