MATCH FACTS

This will be the first meeting between the clubs, and Ulster will be the third Irish Province Exeter have faced in Europe. They lost twice to Leinster in the Champions Cup in 2012/13 but beat Connacht twice in the Challenge Cup in 2014/15. Ulster lost their last home game against Premiership opposition (v Saracens last season), however, they’ve not lost consecutive home games against clubs from England since losing their first four games between 1996 and 2001. Exeter have won just twice away from home in the competition (L8), and both of those wins came in Wales. Despite suffering their biggest home defeat in the Champions Cup since their first home game in 2012, Exeter had more time in possession than any other side in Round 1 (23m 46s). Ulster won their final two home pool games of the 2015/16 campaign by a combined scoreline of 94-3, beating Toulouse and Oyonnax.
