The two that stand out contain teams celebrating silverware. The European Cup win in 1999 remains the most famous day for the Irish province.The other was the Celtic League triumph in 2006, but there has not been an addition to the honours board at Ravenhill for 20 years now. Ulster have an opportunity to change that as they face Montpellier in the Challenge Cup final in Bilbao on Friday.

You know, that's, you know, You can't just dream. You've got to have a plan."You've got to make sure you work really hard in order to prepare to be at your best. And that's what we're going at. "The guys are looking around and seeing the history on the walls, and they'd love to be a part of that history."Baloucoune could feature in Challenge Cup finalPublished2 hours agoMontpellier v UlsterChallenge Cup finalFriday, 22 May at 20:00 BSTListen on SoundsListen on BBC Sounds and BBC Radio Ulster; Build-up...
