There is barely time to draw breath from another thrilling Guinness PRO14 round before we
enter into another high-stakes weekend.
We have the most compelling club rugby competition in the world and Round 19 showed that
with some edge-of-the-seat action. There were the amazing comebacks from Cardiff Blues and
Dragons before last minute scores from Toyota Cheetahs and Benetton saw them win by just
two points in 50-plus thrillers. Congratulations to Glasgow Warriors, Leinster and Munster who
have now qualified for the Guinness PRO14 Final Series and there are still six other teams across
both Conferences still in the mix for a top-three finish. Add to that Ospreys and Connacht, who
can still reach a Champions Cup Play-Off, and you have 11 teams with something to play for this
weekend.
Ulster ended their poor run with their first win on the road in 2018 with a bonus point win over
Edinburgh to give themselves a chance of a Final Series place and this Friday’s visit to the
Kingspan Stadium by Ospreys should be a cracker.
Munster continue their South African leg against their fellow Conference A high-fliers the
Toyota Cheetahs while third meets second in Conference B at BT Murrayfield as Edinburgh and Scarlets push Leinster hard at the top.
