Hide AdLeinster and Ulster were the first representative teams to play in the old Lansdowne Road nearly 133 years ago on 16 December 1876. While they were rivals for that match, they will be joining forces on this occasion which will allow rugby stakeholders the chance to be the first to experience a game in the Aviva Stadium.
The IRFU have announced that already over 40,000 tickets have been sold for the game.
Tickets are priced at €10 and a limited number still available for purchase online.
