    More grim news

    James Hume sustained a significant knee injury during Friday night's BKT United Rugby Championship game against Cardiff. He will see a specialist knee surgeon this week.

    Jake Flannery (thigh), Tom O'Toole (ankle) and Nathan Doak (groin) also suffered injuries during the same game and their availability for selection will be monitored through this week.

    Steven Kitshoff suffered a knee injury against Clermont in the EPCR Challenge Cup Round of 16 fixture and following a scan and specialist opinion it has been determined that unfortunately this is season- ending. 

    He will travel back to South Africa this week, where he will see a knee specialist to decide on the required treatment plan.

    Looks like Hume out for the season. Thats tough news, hope he gets a positive outcome from consultation.

    Well that was a severely underwhelming Ulster career for Kitshoff.

    What's the betting he'll make a miraculous recovery in time for the SA matches in the summer….

    How? If TOT moves to LHP then Ulster need a new TH. If he stays at TH then they need a new LH. Signing a TH would be more difficult than a LH.

    It appears Ed Byrne is coming so why risk your only international prop by switching him to the other side and leave a giant squad hole in one of the most important positions?

    Seemingly at the request of Andy Farrell for the benefit of the international team.

    If ToT can make the transition its worth a shot. I'll be honest, i've always been a little underwhelmed by ToT. He's very young for a prop but i don't think he's done enough to earn the hype he's received over the years. Wilson has been much more impressive.

    In propping terms, I'd agree. He was brilliant around the field when he came on the '23 Six Nations.

    He (Frans Ludeke) was the head coach of the Bulls when they won Super Rugby in 2009 and 2010.

    Apparently not happening. 'In the know' guy from Ulster forum said it isn't happening.
