Wales quartet released for Ulster clash

Cardiff Rugby have been boosted by the availability of four Wales squad members for Friday’s United Rugby Championship clash with Ulster.

The Blue and Blacks travel to Belfast for their first game in more than a month and with a rest week in the Guinness Six Nations, Rhys Carré, James Ratti, Ellis Jenkins and Willis Halaholo have all been released to the club.

All four will now come into contention for selection for the encounter and will return to the national squad on Monday.

Meanwhile Rhys Priestland has been released from the squad due to a minor calf injury and will continue his rehabilitation at Cardiff Arms Park.
