Ulster Rugby vs Leinster

5 / 66

Chief Executive’s
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Welcome to Round 20 in the Guinness PRO12!
There’s another feast of rugby this weekend which we hope you enjoy !
Ulster will want to continue their winning ways & move up the table to secure a
home semifinal while Leinster seek to stay in contention for a Play-Off position
after their great European run came to an end last weekend. All derby matches
produce something special and tonight will be no exception. Both teams will be
trying to earn those priceless winning points here as we’re now at the business end
of the season with only 3 matches left in the league section.
Fans of today’s teams have already bought tickets to this year’s Guinness PRO12
Final here at Kingspan Stadium, Belfast on Saturday May 30th 2015 at 6.30pm.
General tickets are now sold out. The Final will be broadcast live on Sky Sports and
on a terrestrial television channel (BBC Wales/Alba/Northern Ireland – S4C – TG4),
depending on who the finalists are.
Each of the finalists will receive 2,000 tickets which will be in strong demand.
After Round 19 little separates many of the teams in the Guinness PRO12. There
are 4.62 tries scored per match on average, and this figure is increasing as weather
improves, so lots of good entertainment and lots to play for !
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 20 fixtures and the rest of the season.
Finally and most importantly, I would like to acknowledge the contribution of all
our clubs, partners, all our broadcasters & media and you the supporters, who
ensure all 12 clubs and the competition have fantastic support throughout the
season.
Enjoy tonight’s match and I hope everyone revels in another great rugby weekend!
