Ulster head coach, Jono Gibbes, will leave Belfast this week following Sunday's play-off game against Ospreys at Kingspan Stadium.

Although he has been linked with a new move to Top14 Club, La Rochelle, his intentions to return home to New Zealand and take up a position with Waikato remain in place.
