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. Returning from the national team, Robert Baloucoune scored two of the seven tries, leaving Cardiff scratching their head for answers defensively. Those two sides are very much in the mix alongside Leinster and Munster, who were similarly excellent against Benetton and Dragons respectively.
