One Irish Rugby Journalist thinks it could be an ideal landing spot.
Twenty year old Tullamore man Cormac Izuchukwu has found a good landing spot in Ulster.
That's the view of rugby writer with the Irish Independent Cian Tracey.
The 6 foot 7 inch lock missed out on a place in the Ireland U20s Six Nations squad after picking up an injury before Christmas but a strong showing on the Sevens circuit has landed him a n academy spot up north.
Cian Tracey believes the Tullamore man will benefit greatly from working with Irish International Ian Henderson:
