The Ulster Rugby coaching team have named a 28 strong playing squad that will travel to South Africa to play the Toyota Cheetahs and Isuzu Southern Kings over the next two weekends.

Marcell Coetzee is a notable inclusion among the squad, as he returns from an injury picked up in the Rugby World Cup warm-up series.

Sam Carter, Matt Faddes and Jack McGrath, who all earned their first caps for the Province last weekend, are included, as is fellow summer signing Bill Johnston, who could win his maiden cap in South Africa.

Meanwhile, the Ulster Medical Performance Team have confirmed there are no new injury concerns following Friday's win over Ospreys.
