Leinster Players Return for URC Clash

Ulster Rugby receives a significant boost with the return of Ireland international hooker Tom Stewart for their United Rugby Championship clash against Leinster, alongside utility back Stewart Moore. Coach Richie Murphy will also have number eight Nick Timoney available after being released from the Ireland squad, but faces setbacks with injuries sidelining wingers Zac Ward and Ben Moxham. Meanwhile, Leinster welcomes back key players Jack Conan, Jimmy O’Brien, and Jordan Larmour, who have all recovered from injuries, enhancing their squad depth as they aim to maintain their perfect season record. The match is set to take place at Kingspan Stadium in Belfast on Friday at 19:35 GMT. Both teams are looking to capitalize on their returning players after a four-week international break, with Ulster missing several long-term absentees. This interprovincial clash promises to be a critical matchup in the URC following the autumn international series.
