Ulster's Stewart Moore Suffers Significant Knee Injury in Training

Ulster's utility back Stewart Moore has sustained an "significant knee injury" in training and will undergo surgery. "All out of luck last week, three letters no athlete wants to hear. Different challenge ahead," the 26-year-old posted on social media. Advertisement Moore was loaned out to Newcastle Red Bulls in November but was recalled by Ulster after 19 days due to injuries in Richie Murphy's squad. Ireland international Jacob Stockdale is a doubt for Ulster's United Rugby Championship game away to Scarlets on Saturday. Stockdale will follow World Rugby's return to play protocols after he developed delayed concussion symptoms following the Challenge Cup win over Stade Francais. Cormac Izuchukwu and Ben Carson are injury doubts for the game with Scarlets and their availability will be assessed ahead of the game. Australia prop Angus Bell is available for selection after he was forced to withdraw from the starting team against Stade Francais through illness. Forwards James McNabney and Juarno Augustus remain unavailable with their respective knee and ankle injuries.
