Ulster winger Robert Baloucoune has been ruled out of Ireland's first tour of New Zealand in a decade after picking up an injury in Saturday’s URC semi-final defeat to the Stormers.
Baloucoune scored a try in the last-four showdown before being forced off 46 minutes into the agonising 17-15 loss in Cape Town.
It will be a major disappointment to the rapid 24-year-old who scored 11 tries for Dan McFarland’s men in all competitions last season.
