As soon as you arrive, look out for our Welcome Team who will greet you with our NEW free Ulster Rugby flags to get you in the spirit. Arrive early, as flags may run out.
Then, head over to the Fan Zone to sample a variety of cuisines while the Cool FM crew sets the tone with their pre-match playlist.
We'll also have an inflatable rugby darts fun game in the Fan Zone, so make sure to give that a go.
Keep an eye out for our mascot, Sparky, who will be out and about the Fan Zone pre-match and in position around the stadium bowl during the game.
