Ulster Rugby’s only victory in their last five matches in all tournaments was 19-18 at home to Exeter in the European Champions Cup on 22 October. The Ulstermen’s single point defeat to Munster in their most recent encounter at Kingspan Stadium ended a seven game winning run at the venue. Zebre’s only victory so far this season was 19-14 against Edinburgh at Murrayfield in round 7 of the Guinness PRO12. Zebre have never won successive away games in the history of the tournament and have yet to record a victory when visiting an Irish province. Ulster’s only defeat to Zebre in eight previous meetings was 6-13 in Parma in September 2014.
