IT WAS A largely satisfactory weekend for the Irish provinces in Guinness Pro12 action with Leinster, Munster and Ulster all chalking up impressive victories.
After four rounds of action, Les Kiss’ Ulster lead the way while Leinster and Munster have positioned themselves in fourth and fifth respectively.
However, Connacht’s nightmare start to their title defence continued in Wales as they slumped to a third straight defeat.
Pat Lam’s men remain rooted to the foot of the table so if you’re from out west, you’ll probably want to look away now.
Otherwise, the highlights from the weekend’s games are well worth a watch.
Scarlets 17-8 Connacht
Munster 28-14 Edinburgh
Glasgow 17-22 Ulster
Leinster 31-19 Ospreys
