It’s left him battling to stake a claim to make Ireland’s squad for the World Cup later this year. Addison, a former England Under 20’s international, left Sale last summer to join Ulster to pursue his international ambitions.

In a statement Ulster said “Will Addison has had recent back surgery. It is hoped that he will return to full fitness for pre-season.”

Addison will be in a race against time to be fit for Ireland’s first World Cup warm-up match is against Italy on August 10th at the Aviva. Ireland then travel to Twickenham to take on England two weeks later.

Joe Schmidt’s team then have back-to-back games against Six Nations champions Wales in Cardiff on August 31st, completing their warm-up fixtures by taking on Warren Gatland’s men in Dublin on September 7th.

Ireland begin their World Cup campaign on September 22nd in Yokohama with their Pool A clash against Scotland.

Addison was a player that Joe Schmidt had been lining up for some time and he was invited out to link up with the Ireland squad last June during their tour of Australia, before he’d even made an appearance for Ulster.

Addison made his debut during the November internationals against Italy in Chicago followed by outings against Argentina and the USA in Dublin.

He’s a versatile option, comfortable at centre and full-back and has played on the wing.

Ulster also confirmed that their centre Stuart McCloskey picked up a head knock in their 30-7 defeat at Glasgow Warriors last Friday.

“Stuart McCloskey sustained a concussion in the game versus Glasgow Warriors and will follow the return to play protocols.

Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
