IRELAND coach Eddie O’Sullivan has recalled Munster’s Alan Quinlan as cover in the back-row after Victor Costello was forced to pull out of Ireland’s preparations for the upcoming Autumn internationals.

In recent weeks, Ulster have been hit with one bad break after another.

Ulster have moved to plug a hole in their back row, left by the season-long injury to Neil McMillan, by signing 29-year-old open side Tu Tamarua from English Division One club Henley.

Ailing Harlequins are hoping the return of talismanic Ireland captain Keith Wood will provide them with a speedy hangover cure.
