Connacht’s Guinness Pro 14 home game against the Ospreys on Saturday has been postponed after one of the Welsh side’s players returned a positive case of Covid-19.

The Sportsground fixture is the second clash between Irish and Welsh sides to be postponed this weekend after Sunday’s meeting of the Scarlets and Leinster was called off due to a number of positive cases among the Welsh side.

Pro 14 Rugby will examine potential dates in early 2021 to reschedule both games.

Munster and Ulster are both in action on Monday night, with Munster hosting Zebre at Thomond Park and Ulster travelling to Murrayfield to take on Edinburgh. Both games are scheduled to kick-off at 8.15pm.
