With the first International match at Ravenhill in over 50 years just 2 weeks away the grounds have undergone a transformation to increase capacity to 14,000.

A temporary stand, which will hold 1700 has been brought in for the Ireland v Italy game and is currently being built at Ravenhill. The preparations are to cater for the huge demand for this fixture, which has now sold out.

Hardwork at Ravenhill earlier this week

Eddie O'Sullivan will name the Ireland squad on Sunday following the Ireland v Scotland match at Murrayfield. With 7 Ulster players set to start against Scotland we have our fingers crossed that they put in a great performance to further secure their place in the team!

For Ulster Rugby fans eager to see the team back in action the 2007/08 season will kick off with friendlies against Leeds on 31st August and Gloucester on 8th September!
