A brief statement was issued by Ulster Rugby earlier today after growing speculation that time had been called on Petrie’s tenure at the Kingspan Stadium.

In the wake McFarland’s departure last month, Petrie had made it clear that he intended to stay on in the job and help see Ulster through their current financial issues.
