Internationals return for Ulster v Munster Interpro

Ulster and Munster will both welcome back several of their Ireland World Cup players for tomorrow's BKT United Rugby Championship interpro at Kingspan Stadium (live on RTÉ2 and RTÉ Player).

Stuart McCloskey comes straight into the Ulster centre, with Rob Herring and Iain Henderson named on the bench; Munster include Jeremy Loughman in their starting side.

Ulster coach Dan McFarland has made 11 changes from last week's agonising defeat to Connacht, with several players returning from injury to start this week.

McCloskey comes into the centre where he is joined by Stewart Moore who keeps his place in the side following the defeat at the Sportsground.

Full-back Ethan McIlroy is the only other back to be retained, with Rob Baloucoune and Jacob Stockdale on the wings, while there's a new half-back partnership of Nathan Doak and Billy Burns.

Up front, Tom Stewart comes in at hooker where he captains the side alongside Eric O'Sullivan and Greg McGrath.

Cormac Izuchukwu and Kieran Treadwell both return from injury to start in the second row, while Marcus Rea and David McCann also come on the flanks, either side of number 8 Nick Timoney.

McFarland has a lot of experience to work with on the bench, with Herring set to make a record 230th appearance for the province, while Henderson is set for his first URC game of the season.

Dave Ewers and John Cooney are among the replacements, as is academy tighthead Scott Wilson, who is in line for his debut.

Munster have resisted the urge to put Peter O'Mahony, Conor Murray, Tadhg Beirne and Dave Kilcoyne back into action, but Jeremy Loughman (above) does return among five changes from the win against the Dragons.

Loughman comes into the starting side at loosehead prop, with Diarmuid Barron and John
