Ulster's 2015/16 Guinness PRO12 fixtures announced

Post by ADM »

[tag=image]http://tse1.mm.bing.net/th?&id=OIP.M358 ... 9&rs=0&p=0[/tag][tag=content]Ulster will begin their 2015/16 Guinness PRO12 campaign with a Welsh double-header as they host the Ospreys in their season opener before heading to the Scarlets in week two.

The Ospreys will visit the Kingspan Stadium on Friday 4th September before Neil Doak’s men travel to Llanelli the following Saturday in what will be their first game televised on Sky Sports.

Games at home to Treviso and Cardiff are split by a visit to BT Murrayfield to face Edinburgh, before the Ulstermen face their first interprovincial match of the season – a journey to the south to take on Munster on the 30th October.

Ulster travel to Rodney Parade to take on the Dragons before the first two rounds of Rugby Champions’ Cup matches, then they face another trip down south to take on Leinster this time at the RDS on Friday 27th November.

A home clash against Edinburgh and then an interpro away to Connacht on Boxing Day round off 2015 for the Belfast side, who welcome Munster to the Kingspan Stadium on Saturday 2nd January to kick off the New Year.

A visit of the Dragons to the Kingspan Stadium on Friday 8th January is then followed by a busy Six Nations period which sees the first trip to Italy to take on Treviso followed by two home games against defending champions the Glasgow Warriors and the Scarlets.

An away match in Cardiff on the last weekend of February then sets up Ulster’s first match of the season against Zebre at home, after which Doak’s men make the journey to the scene of last season’s semi-final defeat – Scotstoun Stadium to face the Glasgow Warriors again.

Ulster’s final four games are difficult prospects as they welcome Connacht to the Kingspan Stadium before travelling to the Stadio Sergio Lanfranchi to face Zebre after which they welcome Leinster to Belfast as well, amongst the Champions’ Cup knockout matches too.

And the season comes full circle with the Ulstermen concluding their season away to the Ospreys on the 7th May, the final day of the regular season, in Swansea.

All the dates and times of Ulster’s matches up to the 8th January have been confirmed, with Ulster’s games against the Scarlets (A), Edinburgh (A) and Munster (H) being broadcast on Sky Sports. The remainder of Ulster’s games will be broadcast on BBC Northern Ireland.
