Friendly: Squad announced for Leicester friendly.

Ulster Head Coach, Mark Anscombe, has named a 27 man squad for the Province’s final pre-season match, against Leicester Tigers at Welford Road tomorrow (kick-off 15:00).

A substantially strengthened side sees the return of Andrew Trimble, Paul Marshall, Tom Court, Johann Muller and Chris Henry to the starting team with Paddy Jackson taking a spot on a twelve man bench.

The retention of Chris Farrell and  David McIlwaine in the back line from the second half of the Leinster match must point to their involvement over the first few PRO12 games and it looks like Ian Porter has got the nod ahead of Heaney as stand in scrum half. Certainly I’ll be interested to see Porter working with Jackson later in the game, they could be a lively combination.

The back row of Diack, Henry and Wilson looks strong on paper if a little slow and it should be a good test of Herring and Lutton in the front row with Lutton impressing last season. Hopefully Annett will get a good runout at . . .
