Kankowski poised for Ulster

Ulster are poised to announce the signing of South African back row forward Ryan Kankowski.

The Sharks back row has made 20 appearances for his country and looks set to link up with Les Kiss' side at the end of the season.

Kankowski scored on his South Africa debut in 2007 and started a Test against the British and Lions in 2009.

Director of Rugby Les Kiss last week told BBC Sport that Ulster would be making two big signings.


Bulbring signs for Scarlets

Scarlets have announced the signing of South African lock David Bulbring on a long term deal.

The lock has expereience in the Currie Cup and Super Rugby with the Lions and EP Kings.

The 26 year old will link up with the Welsh side this week, which will be a massive boost with Scarlets short in the second row.

Scarlets Head Coach Wayne Pivac commented on the move: "We're delighted to be in a position to welcome David to the Scarlets and being able to utilise his experience for the remainder of the season.

"Injuries have hampered us in that area of the pack in recent months and having a player of David's experience and high work rate join us at this all-important period of the PRO12 has a huge significance."
