Ulster To Host Leicester In Pre-Season Friendly

Ulster Rugby have confirmed that they will play August pre-season friendlies against Bayonne, Leicester Tigers and Newcastle Falcons.

Ulster will begin their 2012/13 preparations with a tie against French Top 14 side Bayonne on Thursday, August 9.

The fixture will be part of a five day pre-season training camp in the south of France and will be played at Parc des Sports Jean Dauger (kick-off 8pm).

Ulster’s first pre-season match at Ravenhill will be played against Leicester Tigers on Saturday, August 18 (kick-off 2.30pm).

The English giants’ most recent visit to Belfast came back in January in the Heineken Cup pool stages when Ulster recorded a famous 41-7 win in front of a sell-out crowd.

Newcastle Falcons will visit Ravenhill the following week for a game on Friday, August 24 (kick-off 7.30pm).

Tickets for the home pre-season friendlies will go on sale on Thursday, June 28.

Fans can secure their places at every Ulster Rugby home game with a 2012/13 Season Ticket. An Ulster Rugby Season Ticket will include both home pre-season friendlies and is available to buy now.
