IT WAS A good weekend for Leinster and Connacht in the Pro12, as both sides reached the final of the Pro12.

Leo Cullen’s men earned a deserved win over Ulster on Friday, with Isa Nacewa, Jamie Heaslip and Sean Cronin all chipping in with tries.

Meanwhile, Connacht secured a thrilling, hard-fought victory against Glasgow, with a Niyi Adeolokun try helping Pat Lam’s team claim a win.

There was some fantastic rugby in both games, so now’s your chance to catch up/re-watch, as the highlights of the two matches can be viewed below.
