CONFIRMED: PRO14 fixtures for the 2018/19 season

The PRO 14 have confirmed the fixtures for the 2018/19 season, with Wales hosting the opening night of the new season on August 31 when the first of 152 international club rugby games take place in Cardiff and Swansea.
 
The Welsh capital will play host to a clash of European Champions as Cardiff Blues (Challenge Cup winners) welcome defending title holders and Champions Cup winners, Leinster Rugby, to the Cardiff Arm Park.
 
The second game on Friday, August 31 will see Ospreys open the campaign with a visit of Richard Cockerill’s Edinburgh, who reached the PRO14 Final Series for the very first time just two months ago.

 
Round One sees a full set of terrific match-ups with two clashes of former champions when Connacht Rugby host Glasgow Warriors while Scarlets, 2017 title winners and last season’s beaten finalists, travel to Kingspan Stadium to face the 2006 Celtic League winners, Ulster Rugby (live on Premier Sports 1, S4C and eir sport 2).
 
Munster Rugby will take on the Cheetahs while the Cheetahs’ South African compatriots, the Southern Kings start their season in Parma, Italy when they tackle Zebre Rugby Club.

 
Finally, Dragons fans will have high hopes to see what the region can achieve in season two of Bernard Jackman’s tenure as they face a challenging opener against Benetton Rugby who are aiming to build on last season’s record number of wins to make a real push for the PRO14 Final Series.
