Ulster back row Juarno Augustus will miss several weeks after injuring ankle ligaments in the 29-24 URC win over Connacht in Galway. He left the field midway through the second half, with the club describing the damage as “significant,” ruling him out of Friday’s match against Munster.
Ethan McIlroy also faces more time out with a rib injury picked up in Ballynahinch’s Senior Cup Final win. Meanwhile, Eric O'Sullivan (hamstring), Matthew Dalton (knee), Iain Henderson (back), and Rob Herring (knee) have returned to training, with their availability to be assessed this week.
Ulster sit fifth in the URC, three points behind Munster, with a chance to move up the table with a win at Affidea Stadium.
