South African World Cup winner Duane Vermeulen is one of 10 players confirmed to be departing Ulster come the end of the season.
It always looked likely that Vermeulen would be heading for the exit door at Kingspan given the IRFU’s policy of not having two non-Irish players in one position after the province announced the arrival of flanker Dave Ewers from Exeter Chiefs.
It's a similar story for tighthead prop Jeffery Toomaga-Allen, who despite impressing of late, finds himself in direct competition with Tom O’Toole and Marty Moore.
