Four internationals missing from Ulster squad
Ulster coach Mark McCall will be without his Irish international contingent ahead of this Friday's pre-season friendly against Rotherham.
David Humphreys, Kevin Maggs, Tyrone Howe and Simon Best miss Friday's game, as well the first month of the Celtic League campaign, because of their Ireland commitments.
However, this loss has opened the door for newcomers Campbell Feather, Andrew Trimble and Michael McComish who are all likely to feature at some point in Friday's match in Sheffield.
New Zealander Campbell Feather transferred to Ulster Rugby from The Borders in Scotland on a two-year deal, while 19-year-old Andrew Trimble has taken up a development contact with the squad. Michael McComish is on a training contract with the team for the summer.
The Ulster squad is:
Forwards: Rod Moore, Paul Shields, Ronan McCormack, Bryan Young, Simon Shawe, Paul Shields, Nigel Brady, Matt Mustchin, Gary Longwell, Tim Barker, Rowan Frost, Neil Best, Campbell Feather, Neil McMillan, Andy Ward, Michael McComish.
Backs: Kieran Campbell, Neil Doak, Paddy Wallace, Adam Larkin, Shane Stewart, Seamus Mallon, James Topping, Andrew Maxwell, Bryn Cunningham, Andrew Trimble.
