Ulster vs Bulls Predictions

Ulster are always a very tough side to beat at home, but the Bulls will be confident with a few Springbok players returning. I am leaning towards a Bulls victory in Ireland.

Head to Head

Last season the Bulls eased to a 47-21 home win over Ulster.

Ulster Form

Ulster had a disappointing season last time out and hope to once again be among the top four clubs this season. They started the campaign well with a home 42-21 win over the Dragons.

Their last weekend was called off as transport issues hampered a couple of clubs. That game has been postponed until later this season.

Ulster Team News

Robert Baloucoune and Eric O’Sullivan both return from injury this week in a big boost to the Ulster side.

Bulls Form

The Bulls have been the URC runners-up in three of the four years they have participated in the tournament. This season, they have again begun well, at least from a results perspective, they have won their opening two games.

In round one, the Bulls defeated Ospreys 53-40 at home, but the performance was hardly convincing. Ospreys led that game at the break and just couldn’t maintain the performance over 80 minutes.

Last week against Leinster, the Bulls again needed second half points to secure a 39-31 victory. For large periods, it looked like a weakened Leinster may get the result.

The Bulls are in a transitional phase after changing coaches, but they will quickly need to find their feet on this European tour.

Bulls Team News

The Bulls welcome back numerous internationals for this game; however, it is unclear how many will start. What does seem almost certain is that Handre Pollard will start after not featuring in the final three rounds of the Rugby Championship.

Verdict

Ulster v Bulls

Bulls are backed to win against Ulster.
