Form Guide
With three bonus point wins from four games, Ulster have brought their attacking play to another level this season. A convincing 47-10 victory over the Ospreys moved them up to second in the table. A fixture they lost last season, this type of game is traditionally where Ulster have struggled, and a victory in South Africa would be a huge statement to the rest of the URC, as they attempt to end their 16-year trophy drought.
They will face a Lions side that have found another gear this season. Impressive away victories over Cardiff and Edinburgh could prove to be crucial come the end of the season. The Lions finished the lowest of the South African sides last season, and will hope to make the top eight this season.
