The Ulster Rugby squad has arrived in South Africa ahead of Saturday's Guinness PRO14 clash versus Southern Kings (Wolfson Stadium, 3.00pm local time).
The Ulster coaching team has brought a group of 25 players, which will be based in Port Elizabeth.
Schalk van der Merwe could make his much-anticipated Ulster debut if the prop is selected to play against his former club.
There is plenty of experience within the panel, with five players having played over 150 games for the Province. Craig Gilroy is currently on 149 appearances and will reach that milestone if he's called upon for the game.
Jonny Stewart - a debutant in the game against Leinster at the weekend - has travelled to South Africa along with fellow Abbey Insurance Academy player Adam McBurney.
