Ferris likely to miss out on Easter showdown

Stephen Ferris has been rated as highly unlikely to make Ulster’s Heineken Cup quarter-final against Munster on Easter Sunday.

The Ulster flanker underwent an MRI scan on the left ankle he rolled during Friday’s defeat of Aironi and, though there was no bone damage, there was evidence of ligament trouble.

“Stephen underwent a scan yesterday morning which confirmed there was no bone damage to his left ankle,” Ulster Rugby reconfirmed.
