PENALTY

FORM GUIDE Ulster are the best home side in the Guinness PRO12 having won all ten games in Belfast and tallied 44 league points in the process. Ulster’s only defeat in the last eight rounds of PRO12 rugby came on a trip to Newport Gwent Dragons in March. Munster have also suffered just one defeat in their last eight Guinness PRO12 encounters: 12-26 at Ospreys in round 17. The Munstermen are the tournament’s best away team having picked up 30 league points on the road this season. Munster’s only defeat to a fellow Irish province this season came when they visited Connacht on New Year’s Day. Munster were victorious 21-20 when the two sides met in Limerick in round 9, and have not achieved a season’s double over the Ulstermen since season 2010/11, which was also the only occasion the Munstermen have been victorious in Belfast since 2007.
