Leinster have confirmed the details for the pre-season friendly against Ulster on Saturday, August 30th (4.0).

Tallaght stadium will host the game in what is a reverse of last season’s pre-season fixture which Ulster won 21-19 in Ravenhill.

This is not the first time that a pre-season friendly has been hosted at the Tallaght Stadium with Gloucester visiting in advance of the 2012/2013 season in a 33-22 win for the home side.

Most recently the stadium hosted the Leinster Schools Junior Cup Final between Blackrock College and Belvedere College in March. Tickets for the Ulster game will go on sale on Monday, July 7th, from www.leinsterrugby.ie and the usual outlets.
