Tuohy and Henry named in Ulster squad

Ulster can call on two more internationals for the visit of Munster to Ravenhill this Friday night after Dan Tuohy and Chris Henry were included in Mark Anscombe's 26 man squad.

Ulster can call on two more internationals for the visit of Munster to Ravenhill this Friday night after Dan Tuohy and Chris Henry were included in Mark Anscombe's 26 man squad.

The two players have been rested in the opening two rounds of the RaboDirect PRO12 due to Ireland’s Player Management Programme but are now available for this crunch inter-provincial tie.

Stephen Ferris, who returned to action on Saturday night as a substitute in the 13-16 win over Ospreys, is set to win his 100th cap for the Province.

Robbie Diack has failed to overcome a leg injury picked up in the win over Glasgow two weeks ago and therefore misses out.

Ulster have made the perfect start to the RaboDirect PRO12 campaign with back to back wins but Munster have, for the third season running, also started with successive victories, so something must give on Friday night.

Ulster have won just one of their last four fixtures with the Munstermen in this tournament, but did knock their rivals out of the European Cup at the quarterfinals stage in April. Munster’s solo victory at Ravenhill since 2007 was 16-6 on 29 October 2010.

Ulster squad forwards (15):

Rob Herring, Nigel Brady, Declan Fitzpatrick, Callum Black, Tom Court, John Afoa, Lewis Stevenson, Neil McComb, Johann Muller, Dan Tuohy, Mike McComish, Stephen Ferris, Chris Henry, Sean Doyle, Nick Williams

Ulster squad backs (11):

Paul Marshall, Michael Heaney, Niall O’Connor, Paddy Jackson, Luke Marshall, Darren Cave, Michael Allen, Craig Gilroy, Andrew Trimble, Peter Nelson, Jared Payne

Unavailable for selection:

Rory Best, Paddy McAllister, Tommy Bowe, Roger Wilson, Paddy Wallace, Ruan Pienaar.
