Ulster captain Henderson faces months out after hip surgery

Ulster captain Iain Henderson, 34, will miss several months of the new URC season after hip surgery this summer, with no return date set, per BBC Sport. The lock — 86 Ireland caps, two Lions tours — also sat out last season's end through a three-game ban that included Ulster's Challenge Cup final defeat by Montpellier. Ulster open at home to Edinburgh on 25 September.
