United Rugby Championship Round 12: All You Need To Know

With the Six Nations on a down-week, the focus shifts back to the Irish provinces, all of whom are in action this weekend.

Fourteen of Andy Farrell's Ireland squad have been released back from camp to feature in the United Rugby Championship, many of whom will feel a good performance this weekend could put them in the hunt for a place in the team to face Italy next week.

Munster are the first of the Irish sides in action, with Johann van Graan's men hosting Edinburgh at Thomond Park on Friday night, looking to get back on track after last week's defeat to Glasgow at Scotstoun.

On Saturday evening, Leinster welcome the sixth-placed Ospreys to the RDS at 5pm, knowing a win will see them leapfrog Ulster - for the time being at least - at the top of the table.

Connacht are also in action Saturday night, but their focus is on arresting their terrible recent form, losing four games in a row since their victory against Munster on New Year's Day. Andy Friend's side are away to the Scarlets in Llanelli.

And Ulster are also in Wales on Sunday, with the league leaders traveling to the Dragons for an afternoon kick-off at Rodney Parade.
