SARugbymag.co.za looks back at the South African players who featured for their respective clubs in the PRO14 this past weekend.
– Munster egded Connacht 20-17 at Thomond Park to book their place in the PRO14 final. Forwards Chris Cloete and Jean Kleyn and centre Damian de Allende turned out for coach Johann van Graan‘s Munster.
– The Glasgow Warriors, featuring prop Oli Kebble, were too good for Italian side Zebre as they chalked up a 31-20 win on the road.
– The Dragons overpowered hosts the Ospreys 31-20 at The Brewery Field. Prop Brok Harris was in the Dragons lineup, while prop Tom Botha and wing Hanno Dirksen did service for Ospreys.
– No 8 Marcell Coetzee and his Ulster teammates slumped to a 38-19 defeat by Leinster, who – like Munster – now hold an unassailable lead at the top of their conference log and advanced to the title-deciding final. Despite his team being on the wrong end of the match result, Coetzee delivered an industrious performance and scored one of Ulster’s three tries.
