Tuohy injury adds to Ulster’s second row woes

Ulster have hit a second-row crisis after it emerged that Ireland lock Dan Tuohy suffered a pulled calf muscle and will be out until the new year.

Tuohy was forced off at the end of Ulster’s defeat by Northampton last Saturday and, following a scan yesterday, has been ruled out for at least four weeks.

With skipper Johann Muller already sidelined for eight weeks with a fractured arm and Lewis Stevenson still not back in full training following a knee injury, coach Mark Anscombe will be looking to back-row duo Iain Henderson and Robbie Diack to fill the void alongside Ravens skipper Neil McCombe.
