## Summary

Juarno Augustus says he is enjoying rugby again after recovering from ankle surgery, as Ulster prepare to face his former side, the Stormers, in Cape Town. The match gives the 28-year-old a return to the club where his professional career began and a chance to spend time with family.

Augustus played for the Stormers from 2017 to 2021 and joined Ulster after a spell with Northampton Saints. Ulster have lost all four of their URC matches so far, most recently 34-26 to the Bulls, while the Stormers have won three of four. The teams drew 38-38 in Belfast last season; Saturday’s match is scheduled for 12:45 GMT.
