The eagerly anticipated showdown between the interprovincial rivals will be a repeat of the 2019 Champions Cup Quarter-Final, also played at the home of Irish rugby. On that occasion, a spirited Ulster performance fell just short as a late Ross Byrne penalty earned Leinster a slender 21-18 victory.
Ticketing Info:
Tickets for this fixture will be made available on a phased basis, with Season Ticket holders at the front of the queue.
As the away team in the Round of 16, Ulster is entitled to 10% of the stadium ticket allocation. However, with demand expected to be in excess of this, a request for a greater allocation has been agreed by Leinster.
Further information, including ticket pricing, will be confirmed in the coming days, with tickets expected to go on sale in early February.
