Dates set for PRO14’s return

Wales’ four regions have had the dates for their return to rugby confirmed after the Guinness PRO14 revealed its fixtures for the rest of the season.

Dragons, Cardiff Blues, Ospreys and Scarlets will all run back out on to the field on the weekend of August 22 for the first time since March.

Due to the easing of lockdown and the ongoing battle against coronavirus, the PRO14 fixtures will involve no cross-border travel meaning all four Welsh sides will play against each other.

The first Welsh derby will see Scarlets host Cardiff Blues in Llanelli on Saturday, August 22 (kick-off 3pm). The following day Ospreys will meet Dragons at the Liberty Stadium (kick-off 2.15pm).

The final round of fixtures for the PRO4’s regular season will be the following weekend.

On Saturday, August 29 Dragons will meet Scarlets at Rodney Parade (kick-off 5.15pm).

The following day Newport’s Rodney Parade will again be the venue as Cardiff Blues meet Ospreys (kick-off 5pm).

That game cannot be played at Cardiff Arms Park as the Blues’ usual home venue is still being used to help support the Dragons Heart Hospital at Principality Stadium to deal with Covid-19.

All PRO14 games will be shown live on Premier Sports and shown in full at a later broadcast time on S4C.

David Jordan, Tournament Director of the Guinness PRO14, said: “So far we have been encouraged by the developments that have allowed all of our teams to return to training. Thanks to the great efforts of our clubs and unions, the willingness of governments and the support of our broadcasters we now have a fixture list to look forward to.

“Everyone who makes our games possible has had to adapt to a new way of working under the restrictions of the pandemic and the response of all our key stakeholders has been very impressive. With these fixtures now confirmed we are all geared to safe delivery of these games and to the welcome return of rugby after such a long period without the sport.”

The two teams which finish top of their conferences will qualify for a semi-final stage in order to compete for places in the Final.

PRO14 Rugby will consider the latest information in the territories that knock-out games could take place before making a final decision on the venue(s).
