Ulster flanker Neil McMillan is out for the rest of the season and will undergo reconstruction to his knee. McMillan had a second exploratory operation on his left knee on Wednesday and it was found that he had torn his anterior cruciate ligament.

The openside was forced to miss most of last season after the original surgery to repair the damage. This leaves Ulster with a bit of a leadership crisis considering that McMillan was supposed to be the new captain in place of the injured Andy Ward.
