In the tradition of leaving the best until last, Munster is the final game of a round which kicks off with three matches on Friday night all of which see Welsh Regions on the road. First up is the Newport Gwent Dragons trip to Galway to face Connacht at the Sportsground, the Welsh region's only previous victory at the venue being their 32-14 win in 2004.

Anglo Welsh Cup finalists Cardiff Blues travel to Scotland to face Edinburgh at Murrayfield, a ground where Blues have won on their last three visits, however Edinburgh are unbeaten at home in their last five Magners League fixtures. Also on Friday, Ospreys will be looking to bounce back after their exit from the EDF Cup with a victory against Ulster in Belfast, although the Welshmen have won only once in their last five away games against Irish Provinces.

In the remaining game Scarlets host Glasgow Warriors at Parc y Scarlets. History shows the result of these fixtures tends to go with home advantage, Scarlets will be hoping that remains so as they build on their reputation at their new home.
