Irish Rugby breathed a collective sigh of relief on Friday evening as the Irish Rugby Football Union confirmed zero positive results from its latest round of Covid-19 testing in Connacht and Munster.

The two provinces are set to meet in the Guinness PRO14 on Sunday behind closed doors at Aviva Stadium in Dublin and the clean bill of health follows a similar all-clear in Leinster and Ulster, whose weekly test results were reported on Thursday.
