In the evening we then have the all-Irish double-header, as unbeaten sides Ulster and Munster go toe to toe at Kingspan, before all-conquering Leinster welcome Connacht to the RDS Arena. With plenty of action in store there’s so much to keep an eye out for over the weekend. Luckily, we’ve got you sorted, here’s five things to keep in mind as the new year gets underway. # Someone’s 0 has got to go This one is massive.
