Botha out of Ulster squad for Aironi trip

Ulster coach Brian McLaughlin has named a 32-man squad for Saturday’s crucial Heineken Cup match with Aironi at the Stadio Luigi Zaffanella, kick-off 2.30pm.

Springbok tight-head BJ Botha is a notable absentee having sustained an elbow injury during the second-half of last Saturday's victory over Biarritz, however, hooker and captain Rory Best, who also left the field with a rib injury, is included.
