The Ulster Bank Club International Team to play England Counties in Preston Grasshoppers RFC on Friday March 16th, kick off 19:30, has been named.

There are two changes to the side that defeated the Scotland Club side last week in the Ulster Bank Club International to retain the Dalriada Cup.

Both the changes are in the back row with Simon Crawford and Hugh Hogan ruled out because of injury. Young Munster’s Liam Og Murphy comes in for Crawford while Clontarf’s Frank Cogan comes in for Hogan. The captain’s armband passes to Cork Con’s Gerry Hurley with Dolphin prop Christy Condon named as vice captain.

The Ireland Club team won the corresponding encounter last year with a 16 – 8 victory.
