MATCH PREVIEW
Ulster Rugby’s only victory in their last six matches in all tournaments was 23-7 at home to
Connacht in the Guinness PRO12 on 23 December.
Ulster have lost just once at Kingspan Stadium in the PRO12 since last February, and that was by a
single point to Munster in round 7 this season.
Edinburgh Rugby’s single point defeat at home to Munster on Friday ended a three game winning
run in all competitions.
The Scotsmen won their most recent away game in the Guinness PRO12 at Zebre on New Year’s
Eve, to end a run of seven straight defeats on the road in the tournament.
Edinburgh beat Ulster 28-17 at BT Murrayfield in round eight of the Guinness PRO12 and have only
once before achieved a season’s double over the Irish province – in 2007/08.
Edinburgh’s most recent victory in Belfast was 16-13 in the PRO12 in September 2009.
