Academy trio in Ulster squad for top-of-the-table clash

Ulster head coach Mark Anscombe has called academy players Alan O’Connor, James Simpson and Conor Joyce into his provisional squad ahead of Friday’s first versus second RaboDirect PRO12 game against Glasgow at Scotstoun Stadium (7.35pm).

Also included are front row duo Ricky Lutton and Andrew Warwick. Lutton, who has made three appearances to date for the province, plays predominantly at prop but can cover hooker also.
