Robbie Diack:

Paddy Jackson:
Paddy Jackson saw a specialist this afternoon who reviewed the progress that the Ulster outhalf has made since dislocating his elbow against Toulon in January.
Following the positive consultation, Paddy will return to appropriate training tomorrow with a view to being back in action after the PRO12 break.
Tim Boys:
Tim Boys suffered a tendon injury to a toe in his left foot in training last week. He underwent surgery on Wednesday and will be out for the rest of the season.
Commenting on the injury to Boys, Ulster's Team Manager, Bryn Cunningham said:
“It is disappointing for both the province and the individual when a player is brought in as cover and sustains an injury that sidelines him for the duration of his short term contract.
“It is particularly frustrating for all involved when they get through the initial bedding in period, become accustomed to the squad and the calling structures and are ready to integrate into the Matchday 23, only to get injured that week.
“For this to happen to both Ronald Raaymakers, earlier in the season, and now Tim is exceptionally unfortunate.”
