Ulster closing in on Waikato's Boss

Ulster are closing in on Waikato half-back Isaac Boss. The Kiwi is eligible to hold an Irish passport.

"We've been speaking to Isaac and his people for months, but there is no contract signed," Ulster chief executive Michael Reid said to the BBC.

"At present he is contracted for the Super 12 and the NPC with Waikato. We would like to get him out of his Waikato contract and bring him over here next summer," said Reid.

Ulster have already taken Campbell Feather and Paul Steinmetz from the Wellington Hurricanes.
