Ulster play Munster at a sold-out Ravenhill this Friday, 30th December.
Many of the young players who faced Leinster yesterday evening at the RDS (42-13) have been named in the provisional squad which also includes the more experienced players that McLaughlin rested for the away trip to Leinster, with the festive clash against Munster at HQ just four days later. Ulster’s Ireland internationals are not available for selection for this match.
The Ulster starting Xv and replacements will be named at 12 noon on Thursday (29th Dec).
