Ulster Rugby vs Ospreys

Chief Executive’s

Ladies and Gentlemen,

We are back for Round 8 of the Guinness PRO12 after an exciting two weekends of International rugby which saw 119 of our players take to the international stage representing their countries. We are proud of the fact that so many players from the Guinness PRO12 play in their national squads; this is the biggest representation from any club competition in world rugby. All of our four countries have experienced at least one victory in their encounters with their Southern Hemisphere rivals and it is a credit to our clubs who provide quality players to the national squads. This weekend, it is back to Guinness PRO12 business for our clubs and they will be looking at moving up the ladder to be in the top four, for a chance to compete in the Play-Offs and Final of our competition in May. I would like to pay tribute to the work of the match officials this season and wish them all the very best for these Round 8 fixtures. Finally and most importantly, I would like to applaud you the supporters who ensure all 12 clubs have fantastic support throughout the season.

Enjoy the game
