We are silent during kicks at goal by both teams.  We respect the match officials’ decisions. We drink responsibly.  We are mindful of our language, especially when there are children and young people near us.  We do not tolerate sectarian, homophobic or derogatory language.  We respect the opposition players, supporters, management and officials.  If you are attending a match at Kingspan Stadium and do have an issue, please contact your nearest steward.  Following a game, you can email any observations, complaints or issues to standup@ulsterrugby.com. Thank you and enjoy the match. <img alt="" src="/Portals/0/dome.jpg" /> 4.
