CARDIFF BLUES
GUINNESS PRO12 2015/16 ROUND 5
AT KINGSPAN STADIUM
MATCH PREVIEW
Ulster’s last six matches have all been won by the home side on the day, whilst they are unbeaten
at Kingspan Stadium in the Guinness PRO12 in their last 13 fixtures since Leinster were the visitors
in May 2014. If they avoid defeat this weekend Ulster will equal their best ever home unbeaten run in
the PRO12 set over a decade ago.
Should Cardiff Blues lose this game they will complete a clean sweep of losses away to Irish
Provinces over the last four rounds. The Blues most recent victory outside Wales in the PRO12 came
when they visited Zebre in the opening round last season.
Ulster’s solo defeat to Cardiff Blues in their last six fixtures was 23-28 at BT Sport Cardiff Arms Park
in March 2014 whilst the Welshmen have not been victorious in Belfast since April 2010.
