Welcome back to Kingspan Stadium, the home of <strong>Ulster</strong> <strong>Rugby</strong>,<br />
where this evening, the <strong>Ulster</strong> men are taking on Welsh side, <strong>Dragons</strong> RFC,<br />
in the penultimate regular season round of the United <strong>Rugby</strong> Championship.<br />
<strong>Ulster</strong>’s Heineken Champions Cup journey sadly ended at the Aviva Stadium two weeks<br />
ago, where they were beaten by a very strong Leinster side. Despite this defeat, we’re<br />
expecting the <strong>Ulster</strong> men to put on another solid performance in tonight’s return to action.<br />
Tonight also sees the return of the Kingspan Try-Cycle Challenge, an interactive computer<br />
game located at the Fan Zone, which has attracted hundreds of supporters during<br />
previous games, with participants going head-to-head to top the leaderboard. The aim of<br />
the game is simple – take on a friend and pedal stationary bikes to travel as many metres<br />
as possible across a rugby pitch in 30 seconds. The winners will be those who reach the<br />
top of the leaderboard at the end of the season, winning some amazing prizes including<br />
a Giant Contend 3 bike from Giant Bicycles or an away trip with the <strong>Ulster</strong> <strong>Rugby</strong> team<br />
including travel and accommodation. Make sure you visit the Fan Zone tonight – time is<br />
running out this season to top the leaderboard!<br />
We’re glad to be back at Kingspan Stadium tonight and look forward to<br />
cheering the <strong>Ulster</strong> men on to victory.<br />
Enjoy the game!<br />
