With just seven rounds left in the regular season of the RaboDirect PRO12, the race is really on for a top four finish, and qualification for the Play-Offs.

In the pick of the games this weekend first plays second when leaders Ulster travel to face Glasgow Warriors at Scotstoun on Friday night. Glasgow are one of the form teams of the moment, their 60 points to 3 win over Newport Gwent Dragons at Rodney Parade last time out was the biggest ever away win in the history of the competition. However Ulster have an impressive record against the Scots, so there will be all to play for in this encounter.

Close on their heels comes the third versus fourth placed game on Saturday when Leinster host Scarlets at the RDS. Currently there is just a three point gap between the teams, so victory is a must for either side; Leinster could pull away from their nearest rival, or should the result go the other way, Scarlets could take over Leinster’s position in the table.

Just outside the top four Ospreys and Munster know that every game counts in their push for a Play-Off spot. Having lost out on the road to Connacht last week, Ospreys will be hoping to maintain their home record when they face Edinburgh on Friday night.

Munster however have won their last three away games and must be hoping that their trip to Stadio Monigo to take on Benetton Treviso will end better that it did two years ago when they suffered their only loss to the Italian outfit.
