FORM GUIDE
Ulster’s only defeat in their last seven Guinness PRO12 matches was 22-26 to the Dragons in Newport in
round 17, whilst the 24 league points picked up in their last six matches is the best tally of any side in that
period. Ulster have won all nine PRO12 games played in Belfast this season with their most recent defeat at
the venue in the tournament being when Leinster were the visitors in round 21 last year.
Leinster ‘s only win in their last six matches in all competitions was 18-15 over Bath in the quarter-final of the
Champions Cup on 4th April, whilst their single victory in their last six Guinness PRO12 encounters came at
home to Zebre in round 15.
Leinster have won their last five fixtures against Ulster, although four of these have been played at the RDS
Arena. The Leinstermen have lost on just two of their last ten visits to Kingspan Stadium.
