Pro 14 – Week 17 Preview

With a week off from the Six Nations focus in Ireland, Italy, Scotland, and Wales returns to the Pro 14. Week 17 of the Pro 14 will see a full round of matches played from Friday to Sunday. The following review documents the involvement from Americas’ players.

In Western Ireland later on today Connacht will be at home against the Ospreys. The Welsh region are under fire with them possibly being removed and replaced by a new side from Northern Wales. This is not good news for former USA junior Hanno Dirksen who will start the match on the wing.

Also on Friday the in-form Benetton Treviso play host to Edinburgh in an Italy vs Scotland club fixture. Argentine Tomas Baravalle will be the starting hooker for the hosts while Canadian-Italian Robert Barbieri will feature from the bench.

The remaining players this weekend will not see involvement from Americas players.
