We head to the Toyota Stadium to take on the Toyota Cheetahs in our fourth game of the season in Bloemfontein, South Africa. It should be one of our easier games but a resilient Cheetahs could cause us real problems (especially with our changes).

It’s the Southern Kings second season in the new Pro14 tournament. So their old pundits will no longer need to make any Super Rugby predictions.
After a shaky start to their first season suffering many losses, they did show better form towards the end. So, what can we expect from them this time around?

We voyage over to Port Elizabeth to take on the Southern Kings in our third game of the season at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium. So far our games have been tight. Therefore let’s hope Ulster Rugby can put in a more convincing performance this time around.

Jordi Murphy has been ruled out with a hamstring injury so will not be fit for Ulster’s clash against the Southern Kings on 16th Sep 2018.
However, there is some positive news for Ulster Rugby. Clive Ross, Tom O’Toole, Jean Deysel and Tommy O’Hagan have all returned from injury and are now ready for selection.
Dan McFarland has joined Ulster Rugby for the start of the season. We thought it may be a good time to take stock of the progress been made so far. It is still early days and he hasn’t had much time to get involved due to his contract issues. However, it would be good to find out how the Ulster Rugby fans are reacting to his first games in charge.
We are still running Poll 19, so if you still haven’t voted on the Premier Sports deal there is still time.
A very close encounter but what a start for our new coach, and a bright new future for Ulster Rugby. They have been tough games so far but he is bringing in the results.
We take on Edinburgh in the second game of the season at the Kingspan. Let’s hope Ulster Rugby can get another win under the belt and start to build up a good position in the league.

It is rumoured that Jordi Murphy will make his debut for Ulster this weekend. He has a chance to hit the ground running, building on last weeks victory.
If you can’t make it to the stadium will you be watching on TV? Let your thoughts be known, take a look at what other fans have articulated over on Rugby Ulster’s Pro14 Premier Sports Poll.
Ulster Rugby V Edinburgh Rugby
We have finally made it to the first game of the Season! A new start with a new coach.
The Scarlets will put up a good performance against us but we must remain steadfast and use our recent friendly defeats to galvanise the squad. #SUFTUM
The background to this poll is from an article we published in March of this year. We contacted the Pro14 to ask them; What are the Pro14 doing to coax broadcasters? The worry came from a lack of televised games, especially in relation to the new South African sides.
This is a Pro14 wide poll and as such is open to fans from all teams. To get your pulse on all the goings on within the Pro14 head over to Pro14 Rugby Banter.
The lads take on Gloucester in this pre-season fixture at the Kingspan. Let’s hope Ulster Rugby can make an impact on the field and bring some momentum into the new season.
