Moore was substituted after 10 minutes of the game with the ankle problem, and is now expected to see a specialist later this week.
In addition to missing the remainder of Ulster’s season, this is a huge blow for the 27-year-old’s hopes of making Ireland’s World Cup squad. Moore failed to get the nod for the Six Nations this year but previously indicated a desire to return to the national squad.
Meanwhile, Jacob Stockdale suffered a hamstring injury during that 29-7 victory over Edinburgh.
Ulster report that his recovery will be monitored on an ongoing basis ahead of their next Pro14 outing against Leinster before that home quarter-final against Connacht on the weekend of 3/4 May.
