Craig Gilroy returns as Ulster set their sights on Ospreys finale

Les Kiss makes just one change to the side which demolished Leinster.

CRAIG GILROY RETURNS to the wing for Ulster’s Pro12 clash against an in-form Ospreys tomorrow afternoon (3pm).

Les Kiss’s side travel to Wales knowing that a bonus-point win would guarantee a top-four finish and their place in the semi-finals, and Gilroy’s return is the only change to the side which demolished Leinster.

The Ireland international was named to start in last weekend’s emphatic derby win but was a late withdrawal shortly before kick-off.

Ospreys have scored bonus-point wins in their last three games to keep alive their outside shot at Champions Cup qualification, but they still need one more win and other results to go their way to have any chance of dislodging Munster from the top six.
