Ulster Rugby released an update on the latest injuries, and it’s not looking good for back row options for this Friday.
Dan Tuohy injured a hamstring during Friday’s game against the Dragons at Rodney Parade. He will have an ultrasound scan today and an MRI scan tomorrow, after which we will know more with regard to diagnosis and prognosis
Elsewhere Stephen Ferris, who has been out since January with a knee injury continues his rehab and in conjunction with his surgeons and the IRFU Medical team it has been decided that Stephen will not play again this season.
Willie Faloon who is currently unavailable having injured his shoulder in training two weeks ago will undergo surgery this Thursday to repair a torn rotator cuff.
We’ll learn more about Dan later today but the big man usually bounces back fairly quickly. Should he not make it for Friday then Barker is more than capable to step in.
While a big loss for Ulster I must admit that I think it’s best that Stevie is not rushed back. In fact , if it was up to me I wouldn’t have him . . .
