Ulster suffer big blow ahead of Bulls clash

INJURY UPDATE: Ulster will be without one of their key players when they face the Bulls in their United Rugby Championship Round Three clash in Pretoria on Saturday.

The Irish province confirmed that star centre Stuart McCloskey has been ruled out of that clash at Loftus Versfeld.

He sustained a right knee and right ankle injury in a tackle in Saturday’s URC Round Two clash against the Lions.

The visitors lost that match 22-35 at Ellis Park.

Ulster managed to get a bonus point in that defeat for scoring four tries.

The Bulls kicked off their campaign with a hard-fought 22-16 win over Edinburgh last weekend.
