CONNACHT
GUINNESS PRO12 2015/16 ROUND 19
AT KINGSPAN STADIUM
Ulster’s only victory in their last four Guinness PRO12 fixtures was 32-0 against Zebre in Belfast in
round 17. Ulster’s two home defeats in the PRO12 this season were by a margin of only two points to
Munster in round 11 and just one point against Scarlets in round 15.
Connacht are in the midst of their best-ever sequence of victories in the Guinness PRO12, having
won their last six matches since their 19-21 reverse at Scarlets in round 12. Connacht have won their
last three away games, all with maximum points.
Ulster’s only defeat in their last 19 encounters with Connacht since 2005 was 21-26 in Galway in April
2012, whilst Connacht’s most recent victory in Belfast came in November 1960 in the Interprovincial
Championship.
