SEVENS STAR ZAC Ward could make his senior Ulster debut in Saturday’s pre-season friendly against Benetton at Kingspan Ravenhill [5pm].
Ward, 25, joined Richie Murphy’s squad on an ‘extended trial’ following his impressive showing at the Paris Olympics, and is named on an extended 15-man bench.
Irish-qualified out-half Aidan Morgan is named to start at 10 following his arrival from the Hurricanes earlier this summer while Corrie Barrett, who played Championship rugby with Doncaster Knights last season and is currently on trial at the province, starts in the front row.
The match will be streamed live on Ulster Rugby Live.
