Starting a thread for this weekend's games.

Friday 24 December:
  • Zebre v Benetton, 13:00, Stadio Sergio Lanfranchi, Parma
Sunday 26 December
  • Cardiff v Scarlets, 15:00, Cardiff Arms Park, Cardiff
  • Ulster v Connacht, 17:15, Kingspan Stadium, Belfast
  • (Ospreys v Dragons and Munster v Leinster postponed)
Monday 17 December
  • Glasgow Warriors v Edinburgh, 19:00, Scotstoun, Glasgow
News from Ulster is that Stuart McCloskey and Iain Henderson, who went off injured last week against Northampton, are not available.
 
I don't know what week this match was rescheduled from, but it was worth the wait for a typical high altitude Johannesburg shoot-out for the SA home debut in the rebranded URC. Apparently crowds are still restricted to 2,000, which puts a slight dampener on things, but hopefully that goes before long.
