Dan McFarland faces a nervous wait over the extent of Michael Lowry’s head injury sustained in Friday night’s crucial United Rugby Championship win over the Sharks in Belfast.
Lowry scored the opening try in a pulsating 24-21 victory that secured Ulster a home tie in the quarter-finals which will be played on the weekend of June 4.
But the 23-year-old’s evening ended in the 32nd minute when he required medical treatment following a crunching tackle on Sharks full-back Aphelele Fassi.
