PRESIDENT’S
WELCOME
I would particularly like to welcome
the officials, players and supporters
who have made the trip from Wales
and I hope that you enjoy your time
in Belfast.
The importance of today’s game in
terms of Ulster’s play-off aspirations
cannot be underestimated. The
Province currently sits in first place
in the Guinness PRO12 but with so
many teams within a few points of
each other, every point gained or
dropped could be crucial.
When these teams last met back in
September, Scarlets emerged as
winners 22-12 and continued their
winning ways, sitting on top of the
league table until recently. So Ulster
will have to be on top of their game
today to secure a win.
In the Six Nations Championship,
Ireland take on England at
Twickenham on Saturday and after
a draw against Wales and a defeat
against France, they will need a win
to get back on track.
Congratulations to Rory Best,
Andrew Trimble and Jared Payne
who have played in both games
and I hope that some more of our
players are selected before the
campaign is over.
The Danske Bank Schools’ Cup
quarter-finals took place yesterday
and I congratulate those schools
who progressed to compete in the
semi-finals.
I hope that you all enjoy the game
and give Scarlets a great Ulster
reception this evening.
Good luck to Ulster and remember,
STAND UP FOR THE ULSTERMEN!
Bobby Stewart

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to Kingspan

against Scarlets.
