It's week number two of the United Rugby Championship and after a thrilling last-gasp win over champions Glasgow in Belfast last week, Ulster have travelled to South Africa where they will face the Lions today in the first of two matches in the southern hemisphere.

After Saturday's game, Ulster travel to Pretoria to face the Bulls on 5 October.
