by Setanta.com staff , 31 August 2010

Brian McLaughlin has named his Ulster panel for the opening Magners League game of the new season against Ospreys at Ravenhill on Friday.


While the likes of Andrew Trimble, Bryn Cunningham and Simon Danielli are not available for selection, McLaughlin has still put together a strong squad.

McLaughlin said: "I am delighted to welcome Tom Court and Paddy McAllister back from Irish duty and have no doubt that they will further bolster a squad that has already gelled impressively in our pre-season encounters.

"We've had three good warm-up games in August that have allowed the management to trial a wide range of players but it only starts counting from now and we are looking forward to testing ourselves in the tournament opener against last season's winners."

Squad:

Forwards: Tom Court, Paddy McAllister, Bryan Young, Declan Fitzpatrick, Adam Macklin, Rory Best, Nigel Brady, Andy Kyriacou, Tim Barker, Johann Muller, Ryan Caldwell, Willie Faloon, TJ Anderson, Robbie Diack, Stephen Ferris, Pedrie Wannenburg.

Backs: Adam Darcy, David McIlwaine, Nevin Spence, Mark McCrea, Tommy Seymour, Jonny Shiels, Darren Cave, Ian Whitten, Paddy Wallace, Ian Humphreys, Niall O’Connor.
