United Rugby Championship: Ulster bidding to get back on track with win over Scarlets
Last updated 28th Jan 2022
Ulster are hoping to reignite their United Rugby Championship campaign tonight (Friday) when they take on Scarlets at Kingspan.
Dan McFarland's side have lost their last two games in the competition and currently sit third in the table behind Leinster and Edinburgh.
But they will be trying to build on their success in Europe where they have been unbeaten.
Roy Lyttle (below) is one of a few changes in the line up - and he is set to make his 50th appearance.
He starts on the left wing alongside Ethan McIlroy who makes a positional switch to full-back, and Craig Gilroy who comes in on the right.
Nathan Doak (main pic) and Billy Burns will form the half-back pairing.
Meanwhile, Gareth Milasinovich has returned from his short-term loan to Saracens and is named as a Replacement.
Squad as follows: (15-9) Ethan McIlroy, Craig Gilroy, Ben Moxham, Angus Curtis, Rob Lyttle, Billy Burns, Nathan Doak.
(1-8) Eric O’Sullivan, John Andrew, Marty Moore, Alan O’Connor (Capt.), Sam Carter, Greg Jones, Marcus Rea, Duane Vermeulen.
Replacements: Brad Roberts, Jack McGrath, Gareth Milasinovich, Mick Kearney, David McCann, David Shanahan, Ian Madigan, Aaron Sexton.
The kick-off 7.35.
