The head of Ulster Rugby has said he does not believe Paddy Jackson or Stuart Olding, who were last month found not guilty of raping a Belfast student, will ever play for Ireland or Ulster again. Asked about the men’s chances of playing for Ulster again, Mr Logan said “that is not something that is being envisaged”. “They have done a lot for Ulster and Irish Rugby,” he told the Press Association. Meanwhile, the official Ulster Rugby Supporters Club (URSC) is canvassing its 1,000-strong membership on what possible protest action it could take over the province’s treatment of Jackson and Olding. Former Ireland international Paddy Wallace, who represented Ulster from 2001-2014, said a “strong section” of fans were upset the players had been let go.
