The 21-year-old centre Darren Cave has been named in the extended Ulster squad for their Magners League visit to the Cardiff Blues (Arms Park, kick-off 5.30pm) on Saturday.
Ulster coach Matt Williams has announced a 26-man panel for the clash with the second-placed Cardiff Blues.
Cave, who has won Under-20 and ‘A’ caps for Ireland in recent years, is the province’s main addition to the panel that was on duty for last week’s win over Connacht.
Cave signed a one-year professional contract with the province last month, after impressing on a development deal and he has performed well in a number of Ulster ‘A’ games.
The Belfast Harlequins clubman has already played under Williams, coming on as a replacement in Ulster’s 20-8 Magners League victory over Llanelli in February.
Meanwhile, Ulster’s remaining home Magners League fixtures against Glasgow Warriors and Cardiff have had their dates and kick-off times confirmed.
Ulster’s re-fixed interprovincial clash with Munster has also been moved to Wednesday, April 30.
