RECAP: Ulster v Munster

READERS’ FORUM: Welcome to the Pro14 Round 10 encounter between Ulster and Munster at the Kingspan Stadium.

Ulster’s only defeat in their last seven matches in all tournaments was to Leinster at the RDS Arena in round 8 of the Pro14.

The Ulstermen’s most recent reversal at Kingspan Stadium was to Connacht in October 2018.

Munster have lost two of their last three Pro14 encounters, curiously both at home, to Edinburgh in Cork and Leinster in Limerick, however on the road in the Championship this season their only defeat was at Cheetahs in Round Three.
