Squad news:Ulster coach Matt Williams has named a 25-man squad ahead of Ulster's penultimate Magners League game against Connacht this Friday at the Sportsground.
The two provinces last met in the league at Ravenhill last November when Ulster recorded their largest victory of the season with a 40 point win.
Now Ulster face a tough trip to Sportsground where they will be playing for another bonus point victory to ensure a mid-table finish. They are currently 13 points clear of Connacht.
Williams stressed the importance of winning this match: “We have a lot of respect for Connacht, they are a good side and play a hard game of rugby, but we are more determined than ever and we are going out to win.
We are on track for a mid-table finish to the season, and will be after maximum points from our last two fixtures to secure this.”
Andrew Trimble, Bryn Cunningham, Paul Steinmetz and TJ Anderson were not considered due to injury.
