Here’s your Sunday evening Pro12 highlights from a good weekend for the Irish provinces

AS THE GUINNESS Pro12 prepares to take an extended break for the return of European competition next week and, further down the line, the start of the Six Nations, it was a big weekend for the Irish provinces. 

Although Connacht suffered their first defeat of the season at the Sportsgrounds on Friday, it was, results wise anyway, a productive round for Leinster, Munster and Ulster.

The Pro12 is off on its holidays until February so you better savour the action (unless you’re out West, of course).
