Week 4 of the Pro 14 takes place on Friday and Saturday. The latest round sees a different look with Ireland, South Africa, and Wales hosting matches.

On Friday the Cardiff Blues will have home advantage against Munster. The Welsh region have named USA Eagles captain Blaine Scully to start on the right wing. It is to be the first game of the season for the Californian who is now back to fitness. His Eagles teammate, Samu Manoa, remains injured, forcing Blues’ supporters to wait for the Enforcer to debut in the Pro 14.
