BKT United Rugby Championship: Round 4: All you need to know

Round four of the United Rugby Championship sees the return of many of Ireland's Rugby World Cup squad to action.

It's just under a month since that heart-breaking quarter-final loss to New Zealand and they will be eager to move on to the next phase.

The big game of the weekend is this evening's Interpro clash of Ulster and Munster in Belfast, while table-toppers Connacht will aim to replicate their home form on the road as they take the short trip to Edinburgh, the first of three away games for Pete Wilkins' men.

Leinster are the last Irish province in action as they visit Newport to face the Dragons on Sunday.

Ulster host Munster as they take on a provincial rival for the second week in a row, this time in their home ground.

Dan McFarland's injury-hit side almost pulled off what would have been a famous victory on the road before being hauled in at the death by Connacht in Galway, going down 22-20.

Prior to that they had wins over Zebre and Bulls to their name.
