MATCH PREVIEW
PRO12 PREVIEW
For Ulster to make a fifth successive Guinness PRO12 Semi-Final they would need a big bonus
point win in this fixture and then hope that Ospreys are soundly beaten in Llanelli.
The Ulstermen are winless in the last three rounds of the PRO12 since beating Dragons in Newport
on 24 March.
Ulster have lost just once in Belfast in the PRO12 since February 2016: by a single point to Munster
in round 7 this season.
Leinster have already secured a home Semi-Final for the seventh time in the past eight season,
but need to take three league points from this game to ensure they will finish as number 1 seeds.
The Leinstermen have won their last ten Guinness PRO12 matches since Munster beat them in
Limerick on 26 December – their only defeat to an Irish Province this season.
Ulster’s only victory over a fellow Irish Province this season came when Connacht visited Belfast
in Round 11.
Leinster have lost just two of their last ten encounters with Ulster, both in Belfast, in April 2015
and April 2016.
