ULSTER WILL NOT be able to field new signing Gareth Milasinovich until 2020 after the prop suffered a torn ACL in pre-season training.
The Irish-qualified recruit from Worcester will undergo surgery on his knee, and the province say the 26-year-old will require a nine-month recovery window.
Dan McFarland’s front row depth will be tested by Milasinovich’s absence, with Jack McGrath potentially going to the World Cup and Rory Best’s impending retirement. However, after missing the tail end of last season through ankle injury, Marty Moore will hope to continue his fine form since returning to these shores.

Let me guess. Scotland are the dark horses for the championship.
Deja vue x 10 years.
@Stanley Marsh: they have the players to take it to the next step. Would love to see them competing for this year’s trophy by taking it up a notch, hopefully this 6 Nts is the most competitive tournament yet..
@Stuart: the game in Murrayfield will be a step up on the aviva game v England. Tuipulotu injury blunts them à but but still a very difficult fixture.
@Stuart: hopefully Italy beats them tomorrow !
If you say the same thing for 100 years eventually it might come true right? Finn Russell has one trophy to his name. The 2014-15 pro 14 title with Glasgow.
@Putland Road: or pro12 whatever it was called back then.
@Putland Road: That’s what we thought before 2009!
Be humble, they have a good side!
Lions 10. Followed by Smith and Prendergast.
