ANDREW TRIMBLE IS back in the Ulster team for tomorrow’s Pro14 meeting with Scarlets.
The province meet Welsh opposition at Parc y Scarlets on Saturday (7.45pm) and 33-year-old Trimble has been recalled to the wing to replace Craig Gilroy, who picked up a rib injury in last week’s loss to Edinburgh.
Ulster head coach Jono Gibbes has made one other change to his starting line-up, as John Andrew is named at hooker. Rob Herring took a knock to his elbow last time out, but has been deemed fit enough to be named among the substitutes.
Fly-half JohnnyMcPhillips was also a doubt due to a shoulder injury, but the 20-year-old gets the nod.
Scarlets, who come into the fixture on the back of a 20-13 defeat to Leinster, will be without full-back Johnny McNicholl and wing Tom Prydie, who could be ruled out for the remainder of the season.
Tom Williams and Corey Baldwin are handed starts to fill in for the injured pair, while the rest of the team is unchanged.
