Ulster Rugby have added to their coaching team with the arrival of former Ireland international Reggie Corrigan, who is to assist the province's scrum set-piece.

The prop forward, who won over 130 caps for Leinster, will reunite with head coach Matt Williams on a one day per week basis after the Australian's spell at the Dublin based side.

Corrigan played for Ireland on 47 occasions, captaining them twice, and made his final appearance against France in the 2006 Six Nations.

“First of all I am delighted to be involved with Ulster Rugby,” Corrigan said.

“I have worked with and played alongside a lot of the Ulster guys in the past. I feel very excited about what can be achieved here at Ulster and the players are keen to turn things around and learn and hopefully I can be part of that”

Meanwhile, Ulster's postponed Magners League fixture with Munster will be played at Ravenhill on either Friday April 25 or Tuesday April 29.

The rearranged date for the clash will depend on Munster's progress in the Heineken Cup and an announcement will be made after their quarter-final tie.

The game was postponed on January 4 because of persistent snow and a frozen pitch that had left the surface under four inches of snow.

Elsewhere, Ireland international Shane Horgan has been named in the Leinster squad to face Cardiff in the top-of-the-table Magners League clash on Saturday.

The winger recently completed his recovery from a rib injury but was an unused substitute for Ireland in Paris at the weekend.

Fellow Ireland internationals Leo Cullen, Luke Fitzgerald, Keith Gleeson, Shane Jennings and Trevor Hogan are also included in Michael Cheika's squad for the game at the RDS.
