There were victories for three of the Heineken Cup semi-finalists at the weekend…
In their final league matches before next weekend's European adventures, Leinster, Munster and Bath kept up their momentum, with only Biarritz Olympique failing to register a win.
The Irish duo of Leinster and Munster both won their Celtic League matches against Llanelli Scarlets and Edinburgh Gunners respectively.
Bath Rugby produced a fabulous first-half performance to blow away 31-16 Bristol at the Recreation Ground.
Leinster's 30-22 win over The Scarlets keeps them on top of the Celtic League table, but have Munster breathing down their necks at just seven points behind with a game in hand
At Lansdowne Road, Micheal Cheika's side produce a strong second half performance to overturn a 19-7 interval deficit and beat Gareth Jenkins' team.
Munster meanwhile, turned on the style and scored six tries on their way to a 36-15 win over The Gunners.
With both sides in fine form, the stage is set for a classic at Lansdowne Road. The Provinces - who have locked horns in domestic matches for over a century - have waited eleven Heineken Cup seasons for their first meeting in the elite competition.
Biarritz meanwhile, had a weekend to forget in the French Championship, going down 36-22 to Bourgoin.
