It’s halfway point in the race for the Guinness PRO14 title and after last weekend’s return to action Leinster still fly high unbeaten and 15 points clear at the top of Conference A - while the race continues in Conference B topped currently by Edinburgh but with Munster, Scarlets and Connacht all in close contention.
With 6 Nations rugby returning this weekend, all seven PRO14 fixtures on Premier Sports wrap around the international rugby contests with a live triple-bill on Friday night to kick things off, two games on Saturday evening and two fixtures on Sunday evening (5.15pm KO) for the first time this season.
Premier Sports' top talent is out in force with six teams working across the weekend to bring all the inside track on a big rugby weekend live on Premier Sports 1, 2 and FreeSports.
- Ospreys v Leinster: Ross Harries, Lauren Jenkins, Wyn Gruyffydd, Shane Williams, Paddy Wallace
- Edinburgh v Connacht: Dougie Vipond, Jamie Lyall, Paul Mitchell, Chris Paterson, Bernard Jackman
- Glasgow Warriors v Dragons: Dougie Vipond, Emma Dodds, Rory Hamilton, Tim Visser, Gareth Delve
- Ulster v Cheetahs: Graham Little, Paul Marshall, Simon Ward, Bernard Jackman, Paddy Wallace
- Scarlets v Southern Kings: Gethin Jones, Lauren Jenkins, Eddie Butler, Matthew Rees, Philippa Tuttiett
- Cardiff Blues v Benetton: Andy Moore, Daf James
Boosted by a much-needed win last time out, Ospreys are on the move on Friday night as they take their home game to Neath rugby’s home at The Gnoll against a Leinster side that has won all 11 of their PRO14 games this season (KO 7.35pm Premier Sports 1).
Alongside coverage from Wales - up in Scotland, Conference B leaders Edinburgh host Connacht with the home side in confident form after a win against Scarlets and looking for a 6thstraight home win in the PRO14 Championship. Zebre against 2ndplaced Munster completes the trio on Friday night.
After the 6 Nations thrills of Italy v Scotland and Wales v France, come two big Saturday night fixtures as Glasgow Warriors host Dragons and Ulster host Cheetahs and with it the Belfast return of Ruan Pienaar to his former club at Kingspan.
Glasgow Warriors have rekindled their spirits in the race for the top three and with the Dragons having rested last weekend after their game was cancelled due to bad weather, both sides will be raring to go up in Scotstoun (live on Premier Sports 1 from 7pm).
On Sunday, it’s all eyes back on Wales after England v Ireland with Scarlets hosting Southern Kings and Cardiff Blues v Benetton with the home side ready to bounce back at the Arms Park after a 29-0 defeat to Connacht last weekend. Both games are live on Premier Sports 1 and 2 from 5pm.
