Ulster, Neath and Llanelli compete for last two

After the penultimate round of the 2002 Celtic League Pool stages, Cardiff and Edinburgh both secured spots in the quarter-finals, whilst Irish province Connacht lost their unbeaten run in decisive style as they crashed 0-40 at home to Pontypridd, who now take over at the top of Pool B.

Although it took Pontypridd 30 minutes to register their first score, and only leading 15-0 at half-time, Pontypridd scored 25 points in the second-half with no reply, winger Gareth Wyatt helping himself to two tries as the Welsh side ran in five in all.
