A MISERABLE weekend for Saracens was compounded with the news that Paul Wallace will be out of action for between four to six months.

The Irish prop was taken off the pitch on a stretcher at Ravenhill on Friday night with a horrendous ankle injury following Tom Shankin's try.

Wallace, who has only recently recovered from a fractured hand, has suffered a double fracture and a dislocation of the ankle in the victory at Ulster.

This comes as a monumental blow to Wallace as he is immediately ruled out of the Six Nation Tournamnet and is unlikely to recover for the British Lions tour in June.
