Chairman’s Welcome Welcome to Round 2 of the RaboDirect PRO12. It was great to kick o� the season last week and we’re looking forward to yet another great season, with the Final nine months away.

Last year’s RaboDirect PRO12 showcased what our 12 clubs are capable of. There were many memorable moments, with 536 tries and 5,339 points scored in the 135 games played - almost four tries and 40 points per match.

Our competition boasts 229 full internationals from 17 nations and is the breeding ground for star players, with Tim Visser, Toby Faletau, Stuart Hogg and Luke Marshall all winning the Young Player of the Year award in past seasons. Indeed, Faletau and Hogg joined 27 other RaboDirect PRO12 players as part of the recent victorious British & Irish Lions tour.

This quality is re� ected in the popularity of the RaboDirect PRO12 and last season we were delighted to see an increase in match attendance of 4.3% on the 2011-12 campaign. Our TV audiences were also up on the previous year, with over 12.9 million viewers watching the action in all four countries. And we launched a new YouTube channel in March 2013 which has recorded close to a million views in its � rst few months.

The facilities here in Parma have improved greatly and will be the envy of many visiting teams! New Zebre coach Andrea Cavinato and his team will expect a tough battle tonight against Munster but will be con� dent that their second half performance again Connacht can be built upon. Munster had a good bonus point win over Edinburgh to start their campaign and know they need to win on the road to get back to a top 4 position this season so tonight should be an exciting game!

As we look forward to another exciting season, let’s wish both teams the best of luck for tonight’s encounter.

Welcome to Round 6 of the RaboDirect PRO12!

As ever, this weekend we support our teams, but we will also ‘Think Pink’ and throw our weight behind the traditional October campaign of Breast Can-cer Awareness. Weather and club strips permitting, this week the RaboDirect PRO12 referees and assistant referees will wear their alternate RaboDirect PRO12 pink jerseys, and this adds to the many noble fundraising and aware-ness activities conducted by our 12 clubs. If you can help this worthy cause it would be much appreciated.After two weeks of European competition both Zebre and the Scarlets will this evening be striving to improve their standings in the RaboDirect PRO12 table.Zebre have made their best start to a RaboDirect PRO12 season and they will hope to make home advantage count tonight. It will be tough against a Scarlets team that have kicked off their European campaign with a couple of excellent performances, and will be looking to bring this form to the RaboDi-rect PRO12. Hope you all enjoy tonight’s game.
