Ulster Rugby can confirm that Rob Baloucoune sustained an elbow injury in @IrishRugby’s win over Scotland last weekend. He will undergo surgery and is expected to be sidelined for approximately three months.
Baloucoune was named the ‘Rising Player’ of the Six Nations tournament after making a huge impression at 28-years-old.
He played four games and scored three tries as he delivered on his rich promise that has often been interrupted with injury.
Despite only taking rugby up later than most players, it is a huge loss to Richie Murphy’s Ulster side. In a much-improved season, they currently sit at third in the URC table and play Connacht tomorrow night at the Affidea Stadium.
In the last 16 of the Challenge Cup, they face Ospreys on Saturday, 4 April.
