Ireland quartet back for Ulster

Ulster coach Brian McLaughlin welcomes four Ireland internationals back to the fold ahead of Saturday’s visit of Munster to Ravenhill (6pm).

Paddy Wallace and Andrew Trimble return to bolster the back line, while Lions flanker Stephen Ferris and prop Tom Court add ballast to the forwards selection.

All four were rested as part of the IRFU Player Management Programme.

Ulster have already tasted defeat in the festive season in 15-3 loss to Leinster at the RDS last weekend but they could move from seventh into fifth should results go their way at the weekend.

Munster, however, are fourth and within sight of league leaders Glasgow Warriors.
