Ulster will have five Irish internationals at their disposal when they go in search of a result against the in-form Llanelli Scarlets at Stradey Park on Friday.

Halfback partnership Isaac Boss and Paddy Wallace are named among the backs, while prop Bryan Young, hooker Rory Best and flanker Stephen Ferris return to bolster the pack.

The returning experience means that there is no room in the 23-man squad for Ireland under-20s David Pollock, Darren Cave and Kieran Hallett.

Former Northampton Saints centre Seamus Mallon also returns having been left out of Sunday's 31-11 defeat to the Dragons at Rodney Parade.

That result left Mark McCall's side bottom of the Magner's League after three games, while the Scarlets sit second having thumped Leinster in their fifth game at the RDS last Friday.
