Ulster Coach Brian McLaughlin has named a 30 man squad ahead of this Sunday’s round 2 Heineken Cup pool match against Biarritz at the Parc des Sports Aguilera.
Stephen Ferris (shoulder girdle/ribs) and BJ Botha (wrist), who both sustained injuries in Ulster’s Magners League match against Connacht last month are available for selection.
Biarritz opened their campaign last weekend with an away win against Bath at The Rec while Ulster secured a bonus point win at Ravenhill against Aironi and currently top the pool.
The Ulster starting XV and replacements will be named on Friday
