Stephen Ferris: Injury worry

Ulster have three major injury concerns ahead of next Saturday's Heineken Cup clash against Harlequins at the Stoop, with Stephen Ferris, Clint Schifcofske, and BJ Botha all nursing knocks.

Ferris and Schifcofske's problems look to be the most serious, with Ferris going under the X-ray machine on Monday and Schifcofske carted off to see a specialist.

Botha is likely to have a light strain and little more, and should be fit for the trip.

All three have key roles to play against Quins, with Botha adding huge stability to the scrum, Ferris tasked with neutralising the rampaging Quins back row, and Schicofske his team's main goal-kicker.
