Ulster identify replacement for out-half Christian Leali’ifano

Amid the carnage of heavy defeat at the RDS on Saturday evening, Les Kiss was at least able to offer some good news.

A new out-half.

With Christian Leali’ifano returning to Australia in another fortnight, Ulster needed a new man in the cockpit, and Kiss confirmed that they had found one. Who he was is being left unsaid for now. It will be an overseas player though. And the fine print, it appears, has been agreed. Kiss said last month that it would be a challenge to find a 10 of note to fit the bill required at this stage of the season and they will be doing well to duplicate the pup that was the recruitment of Leali’ifano.
