Muldoon's perfect send-off, Ulster's near miss and all of the weekend's Pro14 highlights

Here’s all the action you may have missed, or just want to watch again.

NOW THAT THE regular season fixtures have been completed, the Pro14 playoff picture has become a lot clearer with the next three weeks set to determine if the provinces can render their respective campaigns a success or not.

Connacht’s interest is over for another year, but Kieran Keane’s men did at least ensure a disappointing and frustratingly inconsistent season ended on the ultimate high with a performance which augurs well for next term.

The western province produced a display befitting of the occasion as they gave John Muldoon the perfect send-off with a seven-try blitz of Leinster in the Galway sun.

Leinster, however, top Conference B and with it have secured a home semi-final at the RDS in a fortnight, while Glasgow Warriors are the other team automatically through the last four.

Munster’s place in the playoffs was already assured before Saturday but Johann van Graan’s second-string showed fight and resilience to draw with Ulster and deny the northern province the final quarter-final berth.

So it all means that Munster will host Edinburgh in Limerick this Saturday while Scarlets face the Cheetahs at Parc y Scarlets on Friday night, with Ulster to play Ospreys in a Champions Cup playoff game.

Here’s how all the action in round 21 unfolded:
