Ulster Head Coach, Mark Anscombe, has named an extended 25-man squad for Friday night’s game against Newport Gwent Dragons at Ravenhill (kick off 7.05pm).
With just three matches remaining for Ulster in the RaboDirect PRO12, the fixture is vitally important as the Province bid for a place in the play-offs of the competition.
Ireland winger, Tommy Bowe, who played 20 minutes against Saracens in last Saturday’s Heineken Cup Quarter-Final defeat to Saracens, is in line to make his first start for Ulster since he suffered knee ligament damage against Northampton in December.
Ireland internationals Andrew Trimble and Paddy Jackson are not included as they are rested for the game.
Ulster are second in the RaboDirect PRO12, one point behind leaders Glasgow Warriors and three points ahead of third-placed Leinster.
