Pre-season fixtures confirmed

Ulster Rugby has confirmed that it will host Guinness PRO14 finalists Glasgow Warriors in back-to-back pre-season games in September. Kingspan Stadium will host the first of the ties on Saturday 7th September (1.30pm), before the return fixture at Scotstoun Stadium a week later (Saturday 14th September, 2.30pm). The two games will provide Dan McFarland and his re-jigged coaching team with a valuable opportunity to assess their squad ahead of the new PRO14 season, which will kick-off at the end of September. Last August, a number of Abbey Insurance Academy players, such as Michael Lowry, Eric O’Sullivan, Angus Kernohan and James Hume, featured in pre-season hit-outs, before going on to enjoy breakthrough seasons for the senior team. For Ulster supporters, the game at Kingspan Stadium may be a first opportunity to see new signings such as Sam Carter, Matt Faddes, Gareth Milasinovich and Bill Johnston in action, while the likes of Will Addison and Craig Gilroy could feature after missing large chunks of the past season due to injuries. TICKETING The fixture at Kingspan Stadium is included in the 2019/20 Season Ticket package, which offers a significant saving on match-by-match purchasing and includes a host of other benefits.
