PRO14 Preview: Round 12

17/02/2020

Hot on the heels of Round 11 comes a weekend of matches that will take us past the mid-way point of the campaign, and matters are intensifying as the Final Series draws ever closer.

The big winners from Round 11? Leinster beat Toyota Cheetahs to make it an astonishing 11 from 11 while Glasgow Warriors are now back in touch with the Conference A top three – Ospreys also now just one point behind Zebre after their huge win over Ulster.

In Conference B Edinburgh fly on at the top while Connacht powered past Cardiff Blues to hit 30 points – just eight points separate an incredibly tight top four coming to the boil nicely.

Glasgow v Dragons:

Glasgow Warriors will be hoping to steal a march in the race for the top three in Conference A as they welcome the Dragons to Scotstoun on Saturday evening.

The Warriors demolished Zebre last time out, with George Horne and Mesu Dolokoto both crossing twice in a 56-24 victory for Dave Rennie’s side, leaving them just two points behind third-placed Toyota Cheetahs.

The Dragons will be raring to get back in action after their home clash with Benetton was called off due to the adverse weather on Saturday evening and will be looking to put an end to a run of three consecutive away defeats in the competition.

  • Assistant Referees: Ian Kenny (SRU), Oisin Quinn (IRFU)
  • TMO: Leo Colgan (IRFU)
