Tommy Bowe faces up to eight weeks on sidelines with shoulder injury

Ireland and Lions winger Tommy Bowe faces up to eight weeks out of the game after suffering a shoulder injury when he came on as a replacement in Ulster’s thumping 38-7 defeat by Leinster at the RDS on Saturday evening.

Bowe, 33, has been blighted by injury since his return to Ulster in 2012, though he remains the leading try-scorer in PRO14 history.

“It looks like the injury is around the sternum, but we’re doing more tests,” said Kiss. “The doctor said Tommy would be out for weeks, so that could be anything getting up to eight. That’s a shame for him.”
