Ireland prop Jack Aungier is a target for Ulster

Ulster have set their sights on a summer swoop for Ireland forward Jack Aungier, Belfast Telegraph Sport understands, however they will face stiff competition from Munster for the tighthead prop’s signature.

Aungier, 27, is out of contract at the end of the season and is understood to be leaning towards a move away from Galway where he has largely played back-up to fellow Ireland star Finlay Bealham, with both Ulster and Munster vying for his services.
