Ladies and Gentlemen,
Welcome back to Round 14 of the Guinness PRO12 !
There’s a feast of rugby this weekend which we hope you enjoy ! We wish all our Unions
and our players the very best for the RBS 6 Nations in the coming weeks.
Today, it really is Guinness PRO12 business for all 12 of our clubs as they are looking
at moving up the ladder to be in the top four, for a chance to compete in the Play-Offs
and Final of our competition next May and also to seek European Champions Cup
qualification for next season.
We are delighted with the response to the Board’s decision to pre-determine this year’s
Final here at Kingspan Stadium, Belfast on Saturday May 30th 2015 at 6.30pm. Tickets
are selling extremely well and we would encourage fans of all 12 clubs to purchase their
tickets for what promises to be a fantastic rugby weekend and occasion for the Guinness
PRO12 here in Belfast.
After Round 13, there were only 5 points between our top 5 teams but, in fact, little
separates many of the teams in the Guinness PRO12. Despite the seasonal weather there
are 4 tries scored per match on average and we crossed the 3,000 point mark in Round
13, so lots of good entertainment !
I would like to pay tribute to the work of the match officials this season and wish them all
the very best for these Round 14 fixtures and the rest of the season.
Finally and most importantly, I would like to acknowledge the contribution of all our
clubs, partners, all our broadcasters & media and you the supporters, who ensure all 12
clubs and the competition have fantastic support throughout the season.
Enjoy the game and I hope everyone revels in a great rugby weekend !
