Tim Barker could return to Ulster
Former Ulster lock Tim Barker is considering an offer to return to the province after an impressive season with Glasgow Warriors.

The 24-year-old from Dungannon moved to Glasgow when his chances of promotion within Ulster became limited.

However, BBC Sport reports that after an impressive stint with the Warriors he is on the Ulster hit list to replace Rowan Frost.

Frost's contract is not being renewed and it is believed that Leinster are after his services.

Pure pish! Barker, along with T-Bone, has been one of the key players this season in the forwards. I guess its too much to expect the SRU to act quickly to encourage Tim to stay?

Tim has been outstanding this season, a real find, if he is allowed to leave, it would be a disgrace!
