January is set to be a huge month of fixtures at Kingspan Stadium, with three of the top teams from the northern and southern hemisphere in town to take on the Ulster men.
On New Year’s Day, Munster travel north for what will be Ulster’s only home inter-pro derby this festive season. Always an unmissable occasion, Ulster will be hoping to back up the historic victory in Thomond Park earlier this season and secure a rare double over the Munster men.
The potentially crucial final pool stage game in the Heineken Champions Cup takes place on Saturday 21 January when Ulster entertain Sale Sharks, hoping to secure a place in the knockout stages. Sale are in superb form this season, currently sitting second in the Gallagher Premiership with six wins from their opening eight games.
Then on Friday 27 January, the inaugural URC champions, DHL Stormers, make the trip from Cape Town to Belfast. The Ulster men will need no motivation for this one, having twice been pipped by the South Africans last season, including the heart-breaking last minute semi-final defeat to the eventual winners.
