With the second break in Six Nations rugby this week many international players have been released to their clubs for the weekend to both the delight of their clubs and dismay of their opposition.
While another bonus point win for competition leaders Connacht and a win against Ospreys for second place Leinster all but secures them places in next years Champions cup. The two leaders will face each other in the next round in Galway. A win for Leinster will allow them to claim first place heading to the playoffs while a win for Connacht could leave Leinster vulnerable to being overtaken by lower placed teams.
Wins from Glasgow and Munster bring them within touching distance of a semi-final place, leaving Ulster and Scarlets in a stressful position in an attempt to remain in the top four.
The Pro12 will now take a two week break until the finish of the Six Nations, resuming on the 25th of March.
