Ulster Rugby v Uruguay

TONIGHT’S MASCOT

ROBBIE MCMINN (12)

Robbie attends Carrickfergus Academy and plays rugby for Carrickfergus RFC. Robbie’s other interests include singing and performing in local theatre companies. His favourite Ulster player is Rory Best because of his dedication to the team and sport. Robbie would like a career in professional sport or entertainment when he is older.

HALF-TIME RUGBY EXHIBITIONS

Tonight, we are delighted to welcome two new groups who will show off their rugby skills. At the Family End, we have a Walking Rugby demonstration with groups from Lagan Valley Leisureplex, Lisburn, and Lough Moss Leisure Centre, Carryduff taking part. Walking Rugby is a relatively new concept that has been rolled out with support from the Public Health Agency, and all participants are aged 50+ years.

At the Memorial End, we have teams from Instonians and Queen’s University playing in a Crossfield 7s (X7s) game. X7s is another new initiative aimed at keeping players in the game of rugby, providing another outlet for people who have dropped out of the game or are unable to play on Saturdays, while also being a less competitive environment to attract new players.

For more information on either of these initiatives, contact Chris.Shields@ulsterrugby.com
