LEADING
THE FIELD
Welcome back to Kingspan Stadium, the home of Ulster Rugby, as we look forward
to the start of the 2017/18 season. With an exciting new Guinness PRO14 format to
look forward to and the addition of two tough South African teams, tonight’s friendly
against Wasps is a great opportunity to put the final preparations in place.
The Ulster Rugby squad have been hard at work during the off-season ensuring they
are in the best possible shape to meet the challenge and progress out of Conference
B of the new Guinness PRO14.
Over the years, Ulster fans have built a reputation for being both passionate
and welcoming and this season is no different. Please join me in showing your
appreciation for the Wasps squad and travelling supporters who have made the trip.
Finally, on behalf of Kingspan, I would like to wish the Ulster Rugby squad and
management team the very best this evening as they lay the foundations for a
successful season ahead. To Ulster’s committed fans, enjoy the game, lead the way
and help ensure this is another evening to remember at Kingspan Stadium.
