Scarlets coach Nigel Davies says the innovations in the Magners League will be good for the competitiveness of the cross-border competition.

The Leinster team to face the Glasgow Warriors in Thursday night's Magners League clash in the RDS (KO: 7.30pm) has been named.

Ian Dowling has recovered from the ankle injury he picked up in the game against Edinburgh to take his place in the Munster side for tomorrow's Magners League clash with the Scarlets at Musgrave Park (7.35).

Paul Turner thinks his resurgent Dragons can force themselves into a Play-Off position by tipping over Connacht tonight in their St Patrick's Day party.

The Scarlets travel to Munster tomorrow evening (Thurs) for their rescheduled Magners League fixture at Musgrave Park feeling confident they can take something from the game after a morale-boosting win against Ulster last time out.
