Ulster’s first URC away trip
The trip to Glasgow follows Ulster’s season opener at home to Edinburgh Rugby on Friday 25 September. It gives Richie Murphy’s side an immediate early-season test away from Belfast before Munster visit Affidea Stadium in Round 3.
Scotstoun has traditionally been one of the more demanding away venues in the league, so this should provide an early indication of where Ulster stand once the competitive campaign is under way.
What to expect at Scotstoun
Glasgow’s first home URC fixture of the season comes against Ulster, giving the game added significance for both sides. The Warriors begin their campaign away to Munster before returning to Scotstoun for Round 2.
