FORM GUIDE
Ulster’s record in their last five PRO12 fixtures is won two lost three, however only one of those games
was played at Kingspan Stadium. The Ulstermen have lost just once in Belfast this season: 13-23
to Toulon in the Champions Cup on 25th October, whilst their only PRO12 defeat at the venue since
September 2013 came at the hands of Leinster last May.
Treviso have won three of their last five matches in all competitions, but away from home their only victory
in their last 24 trips in all tournaments came on their visit to Zebre in December. Treviso’s most recent
victory outside Italy was in Llanelli in May 2013 whilst the last time they beat an Irish Province on their own
park was when they visited Connacht in December 2011.
The two sides have met on 15 previous occasions in all competitions with Treviso’s only previous win
being 23-12 in Belfast in October 2011.
