Report

The Irish Rugby Football Union introduced a knockout Top Four Playoff system to the All-Ireland League division 1 in 1998-99, with Cork Constitution becoming the first non-Limerick side to win the Division 1 title defeating Garrowen 14-11 in the Final, and then the following year St. Mary’s, from Rathmines in Dublin, became the first non-Munster club to win, triumphing 25-22 over Landsdowne in the 1999-2000 Final.

The 2000-01 season was cancelled following an outbreak of foot-in-mouth disease, and in 2001-02 Shannon won again, with Ballymena capturing a first league title for Ulster in 2002-03. Shannon won the three-in-a-row from 2003-04 to 2005-06, before Garryowen also won it for Limerick in 2006-07, with Cork Constitution keeping it in Munster in 2007-08. Shannon won on the first try rule after extra-tome in 2008-09.

For the 2009-10 season Division 1 was split into Divisions 1A and 1B.

Report

The Celtic League in Rugby Union underwent another name change in 2017 with the addition of two South African Provinces: Southern Kings and Cheetahs. Leinster won the Championship in 2017-18 and again in 2018-19, and were well out in front in 2019-20 after winning all of their first 13 games before the COVID-19 virus outbreak caused the cancellation of the rest of the season. The Pro 14 returned to play in 2020-21 with the temporary absence of the South African Provinces. Leinster defeated Munster 16-6 in the Final series to continue their dominance of the Pro 14

About Pro14 Rugby

14 Clubs from across five Nations: Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Italy and South Africa compete for the Guinness Pro14 Rugby Championship. The Leagues Origins lie in the formation of a competition for Welsh and Scottish clubs, which in 2001 became the Celtic League after the addition of the four Irish Provinces. In 2010 the Competition added two Italian Clubs to bring the number of countries involved to four, reflected in the name change to Pro12 in later seasons. In what was an historic move in 2017, the Competition became the most diverse yet, with the addition of two South African Provinces, becoming a Cross-Hemisphere Competition for the first time.

Report

The Celtic Rugby Ltd-run Pro 14 Rainbow Cup 2021 was scheduled to include four South African Provinces in their absence at the Pro 14 League due to COVID-19 Coronavirus Pandemic Restrictions. It kicked off on the Weekend of the 23rd to 25th April minus those four provinces.

Round 1 23-24 April 2021

Connacht, Munster, Dragons, Ospreys and Benetton all picked up bonus points wins in the opening round of the Rainbow Cup. Ulster picked up both a Try Bonus and a Losing Bonus in their 24-26 loss to Connacht, while Munster trounced Leinster 27-3. In Wales, Dragons defeated Scarlets 52-32 in the highest-scoring encounter of the weekend, while Ospreys defeated Cardiff Blues 36-14. In the Scottish-Italian matches, Benetton were surprisingly big winners over Glasgow Warriors, 46-19, while Edinburgh were made to work against Zebre, prevailing 24-18 in the end.

Round 2 7-9 May 2021

Benetton and Munster were the only two undefeated teams after Round 2 of the Guinness Pro 14 Rainbow Cup in 2021 after wins over Zebre (25-20) and Ulster (38-10). Climbing into first place in the Welsh part of the draw were Dragons with a huge 52-32 win over Cardiff Blues although all four teams in Wales were on 1 win and 1 loss following Ospreys victory at home to Scarlets. Dragons however had two bonus points. Rounding out the matches were Glasgow Warriors 29-19 versus Edinburgh and a big Leinster win at Connacht (50-21) as the West Ireland Province felt the backlash of the previous weeks loss to Munster where Leinster only scored three points.

Report

There were no big shocks in the 1999 Rugby World Cup Americas Zone qualifying with seeded teams Argentina, Canada and USA qualifying for the Finals out of Round D ahead of Uruguay who had progressed to Round D. The 12 Countries were seeded into one of four Rounds, with 6 countries starting in Round A, from which Trinidad & Tobago and Bermuda progressed from the two groups. The Caribbean Island which shares St. Patrick’s Day as its National Holiday, Barbados (virtually all Barbadians are descendents of Irish and African slaves), lost both their matches to Bahamas (23-37) and Bermuda (3-52). Round B saw Chile progess to Round C, where they made a minor shock in defeating Paraguay, but it was Uruguay who progessed with a 20-14 defeat of the Chileans. Round D opened with Argentina winning big over USA and Canada defeating Uruguay. The only close mzatch in Round D was USA’s 21-16 win over Uruguay in the 3rd Round of matches which decided the third team to go through to the Finals along with Round winners Argentina and Runners-Up Canada. Uruguay Qualified for the Repechage.

Report

The Seven Asia Zone Qualifying teams played three Rounds to decide the team to represent Asia at the 1999 Rugby World Cup. Sri Lanka progressed from Round A after wins over Thailand and Singapore, and in Round B nearly pulled off a shock, defeating Malaysia and narrowly losing (27-31) to Chinese Taipei, who went through to Round C having won convincingly over Malaysia. There they met Japan, South Korea and Hong Kong, and despite a shock win over Hong Kong were completely outclassed by both South Korea and Japan, losing 6-134 to the latter in the biggest score and highest margin of victory in the qualifying tournament. Japan went on to Qualify with easy wins over Hong Kong and South Korea, who despite losing to Hong Kong went through to the Repechage Tournament by virtue of their 81-21 win over Chinese Taipei.

Report

Leinster, Ulster and Munster all won their opening fixtures in the first six rounds of the 2020-21 Pro14 Rugby Competition, with Connacht winning two of their four matches played. Leinster topped Conference A on bonus points with wins over Dragons, Benetton, Zebre, Glasgow Warriors, Ospreys and Edinburgh. Ulster defeated Benetton, Ospreys, Dragons, Cardiff Blues, Glasgow Warriors and Zebre to lie in second place in Conference A. In Conference B, Munster led with wins over Scarlets, Edinburgh, Cardiff Blues, Dragons and Ospreys. Connacht, meanwhile, were in fourth place in Conference B with victories over Scottish sides Glasgow Warriors and Edinburgh, but losses to Welsh teams Cardiff Blues and Scarlets.

By the end of the season Leinster had won Conference A with 14 wins from 16 matches, the same as Ulster, although Leinster’s 15 Bonus Points compared to Ulster’s 8 saw them through to the Final on 71 points, with Ulster in second on 64. Leinster’s two losses came against Connacht in Round 10 and Ospreys in Round 16. Both of Ulster’s defeats came against Leinster – in Rounds 11 and 14 – which gave the Conference Title to Leinster. Conference B meanwhile was a lot easier for Munster, who qualified for the Final with a 14-2 Wins-Losses Record and 64 Points. Connacht were runners-up with 8 wins and 8 losses but 13 Bonus Points to finish on 45 Points, the Bonus Points giving them the edge over Cardiff Blues and Scarlets who also won 8 and lost 8. The Final proved to be a low-scoring affair with Leinster winning 16-6 over Munster.

About Pro14 Rugby

14 Clubs from accross five Nations: Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Italy and South Africa compete for the Guinness Pro14 Rugby Championship. The Leagues Origins lie in the formation of a competition for Welsh and Scottish clubs, which in 2001 became the Celtic League after the addition of the four Irish Provinces. In 2010 the Competition added two Italian Clubs to bring the number of countries involved to four, reflected in the name change to Pro12 in later seasons. In what was an historic move in 2017, the Competition became the most diverse yet, with the addition of two South African Provinces, becoming a Cross-Hemisphere Competiton for the first time.
