Utter dominance from Edinburgh and Ulster: Both teams delivered a crushing result to their respective opponents, Connacht and Cardiff. Edinburgh slaughtered the Irish province 56-8 with Emiliano Boffelli, Dave Cherry, Blair Kinghorn, Ramiro Moyano, Glen Young and Ben Vellacott all scoring once with Henry Immelman going over twice. Meanwhile, Ulster delivered a similarly humiliating defeat to the Welsh capital side with the final score being 48-12.

Those two sides are very much in the mix alongside Leinster and Munster, who were similarly excellent against Benetton and Dragons respectively.
