ULSTER forward Iain Henderson will miss Ireland’s Six Nations campaign after being ruled out for the rest of the season.

The province’s Director of Rugby Les Kiss said last month that he feared Henderson’s hamstring injury would rule him out for the remainder.

Henderson suffered a torn hamstring back in December during the PRO12 win over Edinburgh.

It had been hoped that he would be fit for action before the season's end but Ulster Head Coach Neil Doak today confirmed that he is out for the remainder of their campaign.
