2017/18 PRO 14 results
The Guinness PRO 14 rugby competition is a third tier level rugby competition in Europe. It is played among teams from Wales, Ireland, Scotland Italy and South Africa. It started in 2001 as the Celtic League, was known as the Magners League for a period, then the RaboDirect Pro 12 and is now the Guinness PRO 12. It started as a league for the Celtic nations but is now called the PRO 12 to reflect that teams from outside those nations are involved. In 2017 two South African teams were added to the competition. |
This followed a restructure of the Super Rugby competition in the southern hemisphere, which led to the dropping of two South African and one Australian team.
A change was also made to the qualification for the European Rugby Champions Cup. The top 7 teams from the Pro 14 (not the SA teams) would qualify regardless of their country of origin.
The Newport Gwent Dragons team name was shortened to Dragons following ownership changes.
Zebre has also basically had a change of ownership, with the FIR taken over control of the club and is now run under the banner of the Zebre Rugby Club.
The fourteen teams will be split into two conferences of seven teams, with each conference featuring two teams from Ireland and Wales plus single teams from Italy, Scotland and South Africa. The regular season will be made up of 21 rounds -12 home and away games for each team in their own conference, 7 games either home or away against the opposing teams in the other conference, plus two matches against teams from the same country in the other conference. The play-offs will include, for the first time, a round of two matches prior to the semi-finals and final.
The 2nd team from Conference A will play the 3rd placed team from Conference B while the 2nd team in Conference B will play the 3rd placed team from Conference A.
The winners will go forward to play the Conference winners in the semi-finals.
