Matt Williams' efforts to salvage some pride from Ulster's disappointing season have been boosted by the return of four internationals to his squad ahead of Saturday's Magner's Celtic League clash with Munster.

The Australian has hooker and captain Rory Best, wing Wommy Bowe, and centres Andrew Trimble and Paddy Wallace back in the fray as he looks to lift his side from the wrong end of the table at Musgrave Park.

Italian lock Carlo Del Fava has also sufficiently recovered from a knee injury to take his place in the 22-man squad.

Scotland's Rob Dewey is named too, but he has yet to prove his fitness having been out of action for a number of weeks with a knee injury.  His compatriot Simon Danielli misses out after picking up an ankle knock in the final Six Nations game against Italy.

A win on Saturday will help keep Ulster off the foot of the table and ahead of Connacht before the two meet on April 11th. Connacht are currently four points adrift, but they will be looking to pile the pressure on tomorrow with a win over Edinburgh in Murrayfield.
