Ulster's Cave out for six weeks

Audio

• Andrew Trimble, Ruan Pienaar and Geordan Murphy give their reaction to Ulster's comprehensive victory over Leicester on Friday night.

Ulster centre Darren Cave has been ruled out for six weeks after sustaining a ligament injury in his foot.

The 24-year-old picked up the injury in Friday night’s 41-7 win over Leicester and an MRI scan on Monday revealed the extent of the damage.

Ulster face Clermont Auvergne on Saturday needing at least a draw, or a bonus point - while denying Clermont a bonus point - to top Pool 4.

Cave missed large parts of last season with a hamstring injury and this latest injury is a huge disappointment for player who has been one of Ulster’s standout performers in recent months.
