Craig Gilroy to join Ulster's 100-cap club

Craig Gilroy will become the youngest player to win 100 caps for Ulster when he lines out against Benetton Treviso at Kingspan Stadium tomorrow night in the RaboDirect Pro12 (kick off 19:35).

The 23-year-old made his debut for the province against Cardiff in November 2010 and has scored 25 tries in 99 appearances.

Nick Williams, Louis Ludik and Stuart McCloskey are also included in the match-day squad having recovered from injury, with Williams selected at Number 8, Ludik at full-back and McCloskey named among the replacements.

With the returning players and international commitments, there are five changes and two positional switches to the side that defeated Leicester Tigers at Kingspan Stadium three weeks ago.

Props Callum Black and Wiehahn Herbst maintain their places in the front row, with Rob Herring, who represented Ireland Wolfhounds last week, selected at hooker.

Lewis Stevenson is picked in the second row, where he is partnered by Franco van der Merwe.

Williams is joined in the backrow by captain Roger Wilson, who moves from Number 8 to blindside and Mike McComish, who starts again at openside.

Gilroy and Ludik are joined in the back three by Michael Allen with Darren Cave, who scored a hat trick of tries against the Tigers, lining-up in midfield alongside Luke Marshall.

Ruan Pienaar starts at scum-half with Ian Humphreys, who needs just nine points to break the 500 mark in Pro12 rugby, selected at out-half.

Robbie Diack has been released from the Ireland international squad and is named on the replacements' bench. He is joined by fellow forwards, John Andrew, Andrew Warwick, Bronson Ross and Clive Ross.

Backs, Paul Marshall, Stuart McCloskey and Peter Nelson complete the match-day squad.

Ulster XV: L Ludik; C Gilroy, D Cave, L Marshall, M Allen, I Humphreys, R Pienaar; C Black, R Herring, W Herbst, L Stevenson, F Van der Merwe, R Wilson (Captain), M McComish, N Williams;

Replacements: J Andrew, A Warwick, B Ross, R Diack, C Ross, P Marshall, S McCloskey, P Nelson.
