*KUKRI

Welcome to Kingspan Stadium, the home of Ulster Rugby. It’s with great anticipation that we look forward to this opening fixture of the 2018/19 season, a pre-season friendly against Premiership Rugby side, Gloucester. The fixture is an opportunity for the Ulster Squad and coaching staff to put into practice the work done during the off-season and fine tune preparations ahead of the start of the PRO14 which kicks off in earnest on September 1st. The passion and support shown by Ulster Rugby fans continues to ensure the match day atmosphere at Kingspan Stadium is unrivalled. I’m confident this season will be no different so please join me in extending a very warm welcome to the Gloucester players, management team and travelling fans. Finally, on behalf of Kingspan, I want to wish the Ulster Rugby squad and management team the very best this afternoon as they look to lay the groundwork for future success. To Ulster’s committed fans, enjoy the game, lead the way and help ensure this is another Kingspan Stadium matchday to remember.
