Pienaar could make Scarlets double-header

Ulster’s star scrum-half Ruan Pienaar could be back for their European Champions Cup games against the Scarlets at the start of December.

While the weekend clash with Munster will come too early for Pienaar, Ulster team manager Bryn Cunningham believes the South African could be back for Ulster’s must-win European Champions Cup clashes with the Welsh region.

Cunningham says the Springbok star — who missed the international clash with Ireland — is under assessment and could make his return next month.
