Pre-season schedule confirmed

Ulster Rugby has confirmed that it will play pre-season fixtures against English sides Northampton Saints and Exeter Chiefs in August.

Both teams are currently challenging for a play-off spot in the Aviva Premiership and will provide stern opposition for Les Kiss’ squad.

Ulster will host Northampton at Kingspan Stadium on Friday 26th August 2016, kicking off at 7.30pm. The Saints have a hugely talented playing roster that includes a host of England internationals such as Dylan Hartley, Courtney Lawes, Tom Wood and Luther Burrell, along with Wales wing sensation George North.

For the first time, the home pre-season game will have a curtain-raiser, which will feature Ulster A versus Canada A at 5.15pm. The gates will open from 4.30pm and tickets for this double header start at just £15 for adults and £10 for children.

Both of these fixtures are included in the 2016/17 Season Ticket.

Ulster’s pre-season preparations begin six days earlier with a trip to Sandy Park to take on Exeter on Saturday 20th August (kick off at 3pm). Rob Baxter’s men narrowly missed out on qualification for this weekend’s Champions Cup semi-finals.
