MATCH FACTS

Ulster Rugby welcome Harlequins to Kingspan Stadium tonight hoping to hold onto their winning streak while Harlequins search for a first win in Round 4 of the European Rugby Champions Cup campaign. » English Premiership side Harlequins are propping up Pool 1 with a solitary point to their name following successive defeats in the opening rounds of European competition, losing to La Rochelle, Wasps and Ulster. » It is a crucial game for Ulster if they are to progress to the knockout stages, with Ulster Rugby languishing seven points behind Pool leaders La Rochelle having won two and lost one so far in the Champions Cup. » Ulster enter Round 4 of European action buoyant having defeated Harlequins on their home turf last weekend. » Ulster’s win over Harlequins last weekend was their first away win over an Aviva Premiership club since they defeated Leicester in Round 6 in the 2013/14 season. » Friday will be the fifth meeting between the sides with Harlequins looking to avenge their defeat last week at The Stoop.
