Treviso v Ulster - RaboDirect PRO12 match preview

Tom Court: Has remained with the Ulster squad

Andy Vilk: Named in the centres by Treviso

Treviso have named two 'permit players' in their squad for the RaboDirect PRO12 encounter against Ulster on Friday.

Former England Sevens international Andy Vilk will start the match in the centres, while flanker Filippo Giusti is named on the bench.

Treviso are also buoyed by the availability of Luca Morisi and Andrea Pratichetti after the duo were released from the Italian squad for the match.

Ulster will look to maintain their unbeaten start to the league campaign when they tackle Treviso.

Ulster saw off Zebre 27-25 last time out and they have stuck largely to the same squad - with Ireland squad members Declan Fitzpatrick and Tom Court cleared to play.

There is a call-up for Peter Nelson, who makes his second start at full-back - while Andrew Trimble, Paul Marshall and Roger Wilson also come into the line-up.

Treviso: 15 Brendan Williams, 14 Giulio Toniolatti, 13 Christian Loamanu, 12 Andrew Vilk, 11 Ludovico Nitoglia, 10 Alberto Di Bernardo, 9 Fabio Semenzato, 1 Matteo Muccignat, 2 Franco Sbaraglini, 3 Jacobus Roux, 4 Marco Fuser, 5 Corniel Van Zyl (captain), 6 Valerio Bernaḅ, 7 Paul Derbyshire, 8 Marco Filippucci.
