Ulster Development team named to face AIL Select XV

Lorcan McLaughlin will captain Ulster Development who will face an AIL Select XV at Malone RFC on Friday night. (KO: 7.30PM)

The inaugural fixture gives Ulster's academy and development players an opportunity to get important gametime and provides a chance for some of the most talented AIL players to test themselves.

Supporters can watch the game at Gibson Park (Malone RFC), with tickets priced at £5 at the gate. Bar facilities and a BBQ will be open from 6pm in the lead up to the match.

Ulster's Academy Manager, Gavin Hogg, outlined why the fixture will be beneficial to everyone involved:
