Steven Kitshoff enjoyed his first training session with Ulster on Monday as the two-time World Cup winner prepares to make his highly-anticipated debut for the Irish side.
Having joined Ulster from the Stormers, Kitshoff officially reported for duty with his new club on Monday, after touching down at George Best Belfast City Airport on Saturday.

The 31-year-old captained the Stormers to back-to-back Vodacom URC finals, winning the 2021-22 title, and will add plenty of experience to Ulster’s pack.
Ulster, currently in third place after winning four of their opening five fixtures, are in Scotland this weekend to face Franco Smith’s second-placed Glasgow Warriors on Saturday night, when Kitshoff could get his first run-out for his new team.
