Interestingly round two has never seen three home wins. Ireland begin the second weekend on Saturday and welcome Wales to the Aviva Stadium, a venue where they have a better record than their hosts in matches between the two countries. Later on Saturday, Scotland and England continue their 135 year tussle for the Calcutta Cup at Murrayfield, with Scotland not having held the coveted trophy since 2008. Round two concludes on Sunday afternoon with the Garribaldi Cup clash between France and Italy in Paris, with the Azzurri bidding to retain the trophy for the first time.

Ireland have not begun an RBS 6 Nations campaign with a pair of victories since they won the grand slam in 2009, whilst their victory over Scotland on Sunday ended a four game winless run in the Championship. Wales only defeat in their last 11 RBS 6 Nations encounters came against Ireland in round 1 last year. Wales have won on two of their last three visits to Dublin, in 2008 at Croke Park and 2012 at Aviva Stadium. The only time Ireland have failed to score a try in a game against Wales since 1994 came in their defeat at Croke Park in 2008. Wales coach Warren Gatland faces his old employers having coached Ireland in the first two years of the new RBS 6 Nations Championship. Wales have won more matches than they have lost at Lansdowne Road/Aviva Stadium, recording 18 wins and 17 losses from their 38 previous visits. ON THE PITCH Italy’s 43rd minute try at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday was the first Wales have conceded in a Welsh Championship record 400 minutes of RBS 6 Nations play, beating their previous best of 396 minutes set in 1947-48. Alun-Wyn Jones was the best lineout forward in round one of the RBS 6 Nations, winning seven lineouts, and stealing one more of Italy’s. Taulupe Faletau and Peter O’Mahony were the best “pilferers” last weekend, each claiming three turnovers for their side. Connor Murray threw six more passes than any other player in round one, with 78. Rhys Priestland kicked away more possession than any other player last week with 16 kicks.

    FEDERALE 3 le RC Metz a maté Lons-le-Saunier Sans aucun doute le match le plus accompli des Messins, victoire collective à la clé Metz a contenu les Jurassiens dans leur moitié de terrain. Photo Anthony PICORÉ RC METZ 35 LONS 7 Mi-temps : 20-7. Stade de la Grange aux Bois. Terrain synthétique. 300 spectateurs. Arbitre : M. Lemonnier. METZ : 4 essais Kimmel (7e ), Micoud (22e ), Bonjean (67e ), Guerimand (73e ). 3 transformations Perrin (7e, 22e ) et Parra (73e ). 3 pénalités Perrin (14e , 38e , 55e ).

Sont entrés en jeu : Perriot, Kremer, Manceaux, Philippe, Guerimand, Nicoletta, Fabre. Carton blanc : Perrin (40e ). Carton jaune : Kremer (80e ).

Sont entrés en jeu : Fourcade, Gabriel Robez, Benoit, Dubuy, Taponard, Balconnet, Contardo. Carton jaune : Guidot (59e ) et Beqa (84e ). Les Messins, intransigeants en défense et omniprésents en attaque, ont maté le quinze jurassien. Et pourtant c’est Lons-le-Saunier qui a lancé les hostilités : Raoma a récupéré un long ballon donné au pied à un mètre de la ligne, mais au moment d'aplatir, a commis une faute de main. Secoués, les Messins. Mais sur une touche de Bivert, le ballon a voyagé entre les lignes pour parvenir à Kimmel, qui leur a offert les premiers points. Perrin a transformé pour le RC en tête (7-0). Neiceru manque deux pénalités faciles Meynier, pour Lons,a répondu en s’échappant pour servir Neiceru.

    RaboDirect PRO12 : PREVIEW 2012/13 Round 18: 22ND & 23RD March 2013 ROUND 18 PREVIEWS With just five rounds left to decide which teams will contest the Play-Offs, there is a new leader of the RaboDirect PRO12 with Glasgow Warriors taking over the mantle from Ulster, whilst for the fourth round in succession, Ospreys swapped places with Scarlets in the Play-Off Zone. Three of those teams are in action on Friday night; Ulster traveling to Edinburgh, Ospreys hosting Welsh rivals Newport Gwent Dragons, and Scarlets in Italy to face Zebre. Edinburgh can do their Scottish neighbours, Warriors, a favour if they can defeat Ulster however their record against the Ulstermen is not great. Meanwhile Ospreys and Scarlets must both be looking to come away with maximum points from opponents who are sitting at the wrong end of the table in their bids to reach the Play-Offs. The leaders, Glasgow Warriors, are not in action until Saturday, and are the only one of the potential Play-Off teams to face another side from the top half of the table when the visit Leinster at the RDS. Munster will also be looking for maximum points in the All-Irish clash against Connacht if they are to make a final push for the knockout stages. With just two points separating the top three teams in the table, whilst it is even closer for the final Play Off spot, there is definitely all to play for still as the RaboDirect PRO12 enters its closing stages. ROUND 18 FIXTURES Friday 22 March EDINBURGH RUGBY v ULSTER At Murrayfield, 7.30pm.

  • RD PRO12 Peview Round 9
    RaboDirect PRO12 PREVIEW 2012/13 Round Nine: 23rd – 25th November 2012 ROUND NINE PREVIEWS With the completion of their postponed Round 4 game against Zebre, Ulster have now pulled out a six points lead at the top of the RaboDirect PRO12 table. They are in action in Italy again on Friday night when they face Benetton Treviso at Stadio Monigo, and will be looking to extend their unbeaten record in the country as well as maintaining their 100per cent start to this season’s RaboDirect PRO12. Current RaboDirect PRO12 champions, Ospreys, are also in action on Friday night travelling to Murrayfield to play Edinburgh Rugby. Ospreys sit just outside the top four due to poorer points difference than Munster, should results go their way this weekend it could be the first time they have entered the Play-Off zone this season. The match of the day must be the encounter at Scotstoun where third placed Glasgow Warriors must overcome the reigning European champions, Leinster if they are to set a new Warriors record in this tournament of seven successive wins. The final game on Friday night is in Wales when Newport Gwent Dragons host Connacht. Both teams have had a mixed start to their seasons, and a win would be a welcome boost to their campaigns. The round concludes with two games on Sunday, Munster v Scarlets and Zebre v Cardiff Blues. After having narrowly missed out to Ulster last weekend, Zebre are still looking for their first win in the completion, and will be hoping Blues poor form continues for one more week.
