Wilson and Fitzpatrick named in Ulster squad as Ferris returns

Roger Wilson and Declan Fitzpatrick have been named in the extended Ulster squad for Friday's RaboDirect PRO12 game against Dragons at Rodney Parade (7.05pm), while there was further good news with Stephen Ferris returning after missing the province's opening two Heineken Cup games.

It is the first time Wilson has been named in a preliminary squad since his return to Ulster, having suffered a hamstring tear playing for Northampton Saints at the end of last season.
