Sean Lineen only looking for Glasgow victory
The Belfast side, who meet Edinburgh in the Heineken Cup semi-finals next Saturday, succumbed to a 16-8 defeat at home to Leinster last night which leaves them still a point adrift of the Warriors with the Scots now holding a game in hand. Ulster’s last league match is away to Munster on 5 May while Glasgow are at home to Connacht on the same day.
Sean Lineen’s side could even secure their play-off spot in Italy if Munster can do them a favour and beat Scarlets – who sit two points behind Glasgow – in Llanelli this evening, and Glasgow win.

This season was heading the same way until defeat at Munster last weekend. However, in 2010 those decisive results came after losing to the red jerseys and Lineen leads his men to Treviso hoping for a similar reaction.
