CURRENT FORM

Ulster Rugby are one of only four sides in the Guinness PRO14 who have begun the season with three straight victories. The Ulstermen have not lost in the Championship since a visit to Ospreys in late April. Ulster are unbeaten in their last nine PRO14 fixtures played in Belfast – a sequence that includes a 24-all draw with Cardiff Blues in round 19 last season. Dragons were the only Welsh region to emerge victorious during round 3 when they beat Connacht 21-8 in Newport to end a fourteen match losing streak in all competitions. Dragons have not won away from home since a visit to Gloucester in the quarter-final of the European Challenge Cup in April 2016, whilst their most recent triumph on the road in the PRO14 was in Treviso in March 2015. Ulster have won their last four fixtures against Dragons since the Welsh regions’ 26-22 victory at Rodney Parade in March 2015. Dragons have not beaten Ulster in Belfast since September 2008.
