RTÉ Sport on Two: RaboDirect PRO12

Ulster v Newport-Gwent Dragons (Kick-off 7.05pm). Daire O'Brien is joined by Brent Pope and Alan Quinlan to present coverage of the PRO12 encounter at Ravenhill, as the teams meet for the second time this season. The Dragons secured a 22-9 victory on home soil in the reverse fixture in September, thanks mainly to the performance of Jason Tovey, who kicked five penalties and one conversion, while Tom Riley's try proved to be the only one of the match. The Welsh side have yet to win on their travels in the league during the current campaign, and face an uphill task against an Ulster side that have lost just once at home and are making headlines in the European Cup with a string of impressive performances and results. With commentary by Hugh Cahill and Frankie Sheahan (Sport Live Sports)
