Match Programme Preview » Alan O’Connor

In today’s match programme, Alan O’Connor looks ahead to the clash against his home province. The Dublin-born second row may have spent his formative years in the sub-academy of today’s opponents but, with six seasons and 85 caps now under his belt at Kingspan Stadium, there can be no doubt he has the blood of an Ulster man coursing through his veins. In addition, the match programme includes an interview with Nick Timoney, plus player profiles, Q&As, stats, club rugby articles and much more. ALAN O’CONNOR PREVIEW “I don’t think you can ever call inter-pro a dead rubber,” he insists. “Leinster are going well of course, but they’ve lost a couple of games as well recently, so it’ll be a big momentum swing if we can get this win and then build for the Connacht game. “We’ve played them up here a good few times at the end of the season and we’ve always enjoyed those games; so obviously with the year we’ve had, and having played them already a couple of times, we’ll be looking to get one back on them.” MATCH PROGRAMME Pick up an Ulster v Leinster match programme for £3 at all main entrances from when gates open at 3.15pm.
