Michael Lowry is hoping to make it a memorable Christmas by getting Ulster back to winning ways when they host Munster on Friday evening at the Kingspan Stadium.

The opening festive interpro is a huge game for the hosts who have lost their last four matches, being beaten twice in Europe by French powerhouses Toulouse and Bordeaux-Begles and before that losing two URC games to Leinster and Cardiff.
