Clean bills of health for Irish provinces

Rugby: Both Ulster and Munster have no new injury concerns to report after last weekend’s Heineken Cup clashes

Rugby:Both Ulster and Munster have no new injury concerns to report after last weekend's Heineken Cup clashes. In Ulster, there had been some concern over Stephen Ferris's ankle but the Ireland flanker will be available for the trip to Leicester.

Coach Brian McLaughlin, who is without long-term absentees Ruan Pienaar, Jared Payne and Luke Marshall, will not have new signing John Afoa at his disposal after he returned to New Zealand to attend the wedding of fellow All Black Jerome Kaino.

Munster, who meet Castres in Toulouse, could have Marcus Horan back and also reported a clean bill of health after their dramatic injury-time win against Northampton.

Ulster squad:Paddy McAllister, Callum Black,: Tom Court, Adam Macklin, Declan Fitzpatrick, Andi Kyriacou, Nigel Brady, Rory Best, Lewis Stevenson, Johann Muller, Dan Tuohy, Tim Barker, Neil McComb, Michael McComish, Stephen Ferris, Pedrie Wannenburg, Willie Faloon, Chris Henry, Robbie Diack; Paul Marshall, Ian Porter, Ian Humphreys, Paddy Jackson, Paddy Wallace, Nevin Spence, Ian Whitten, Darren Cave, Craig Gilroy, Simon Danielli, Andrew Trimble, Adam D'Arcy
