PRO12-Ireland

The RaboDirect PRO12 season 2013/14 kicks off with both the reigning champions, Leinster and runners up, Ulster in action in Wales on Friday night.  The Champions are not known as fast starters, whereas Scarlets were joint top of the table after the first round last year, so will be looking to make the most of their home advantage.

Newport Gwent Dragons were the only other team that took maximum points from their opening fixture last season, but they will find Ulster far tougher opposition then new boys Zebre were in 2012/13.

Glasgow Warriors and Cardiff Blues complete the action on Friday night; whilst Warriors did not make the most auspicious start to the season they did reach the Play-Offs  last year and know that every point counts if they are to better that performance this campaign.

The remaining three round one games all take place on Saturday . . .
