Matt Williams in Belfast for talks on Ulster job

Matt Williams is reported to be in Belfast for talks with Ulster on the prospect of him taking over the vacant head coach position.

The ex-Scotland boss is odds-on favourite to take over from Mark McCall, and could even be installed before the clash with his former employers Leinster on Stephen's Day.

The province are staying tight-lipped and there is no word on any future role for caretaker manager Steve Williams.
