Green light for Leinster-Ulster PRO14 clash

Saturday’s Guinness PRO14 derby clash between Leinster and Ulster has been given the all-clear to proceed as scheduled after the latest round of Covid-19 testing produced no positive results from either province.

The Irish Rugby Football Union announced the results on Thursday as Ulster resumed training having suspended rugby activity as a precaution following Wednesday’s statement that eight positive cases had been confirmed in the province, all Ulster academy players.
