Ulster prepare to play first competitive game on new 3G surface
Jacob Stockdale says Ulster's opening home URC fixture of the season was always going to be massive regardless of the new playing surface.It will be a tough test for Dan McFarland's men as the South African outfit eased past the Scarlets 63-21 last weekend, but Stockdale believes it is a good opportunity for Ulster to gauge where they are."Your first home game of the season is always a massive one for you as it sets the tone for the rest of the year," he said.
Stockdale admitted he hasn't been a fan in the past, however having trained on this one he said he is slowly changing his mind. "The benefit of it is you have the same surface every time you step on it no matter what the weather is like. In the long run that is going to be the big benefit of it."Maybe ask me again in a couple of months once we get a few games on it. It's an exciting surface to play on so we'll see how it goes."
