**It was another dramatic round of Guinness PRO14 Rainbow Cup action, with late drama and shock results playing their part.** Munster's defeat to Connacht opened up the race for the final while Benetton showed no signs of slowing down and the Vodacom Bulls went top in South Africa. Here, we take a look at five things we learned from Round 3. **Race for final hots up** Just hours after plans for a North v South final were announced, Connacht blew the race to reach the showpiece wide open with their win at Munster. It was only a second win for the Westerners at Thomond Park since 1986 and a first victory in eight against Munster for Andy Friend’s side. The result brought Connacht within a point of Munster in the Rainbow Cup standings, with the men from Limerick having come into Round 3 at the summit.
