Ulster Rugby returns to Belfast for Round 6 of the United Rugby Championship with a demanding home test against Benetton Rugby at 2:45 p.m. ET on Nov. 28 at Affidea Stadium. 

Both teams enter the weekend needing stability and momentum, and this matchup offers a clear opportunity for one to solidify its position as the season begins to take shape. Ulster will lean on the experience of Iain Henderson, the dynamism of Nick Timoney and the finishing ability of Jacob Stockdale in looking to take control early in front of a home crowd.

Benetton arrives in strong form and with confidence in its physicality, defensive work rate and ball-carrying punch. Head coach Calum MacRae said the team expects an intense contest and emphasized the importance of execution. 

“It’ll be an extremely physical match against Ulster, and we’ll need to start strong from the first minute,” he said. “We’ll need to be consistent and clinical, capitalizing on our opportunities and conceding little to our opponents.” 

The Italian side’s midfield pairing of Paolo Odogwu and Filippo Drago, along with the leadership of Michele Lamaro, will be central to their approach.

With both clubs preparing for a bruising encounter, the margins appear thin. 

Ulster will draw on its structure and set-piece strength, while Benetton will seek to match intensity and create disruption early. 

In Round 6, every point matters, and each squad will view this match as a chance to define its path deeper into the season.
