FloRugby Watch Guide: Games In Five Countries

There's no Christmas Break for the major pro leagues with three professional competitions LIVE on FloRugby this weekend.

Guinness PRO14

FloRugby is showing Guinness PRO14 games LIVE for fans in Latin America, Middle East, North Africa, Spain, Portugal, and France.

Everyone is playing in-country, making for less arduous travel for everyone involved this week. It also makes for some key rivalry games - just ask Juan Pablo Socino. Glasgow vs Edinburgh is a chance for Edinburgh to regain some momentum, and an important one for the Warriors to consolidate 1st place in the Conference A.

Munster vs Ulster is a huge one in Ireland as the teams are 2nd and 3rd, respectively. 

Ulster has won just one of their last seven derbies, although that win was the last time they hosted Munster. For Munster, last weekend’s loss to Castres is another example of the team having difficulty winning on the road.

In Wales, USA captain Blaine Scully will make his 50th appearance for the Cardiff Blues as they take on Dragons in a crucial game for both. 

After leading Saracens last week in the Heineken Champions Cup only to lose in the second half, Cardiff has to find a way to close things.

Also in Wales, Scarlets take on Ospreys. The Scarlets head into the game having won 10 straight Welsh derbies, including their last trip to Swansea, but their record on the road this season is not strong. Both teams have playoff aspirations and Scarlets is 2nd in Conference B. With a win against the Scarlets and a loss for Munster and Connacht, Ospreys could move to 2nd in Conference A.

Two Italian teams face off on Sunday with Benetton in an excellent position to push for a playoff spot. Zebre is 7th in Conference A, but is coming off a 58-14 European Challenge Cup win that could bolster the team's confidence.

And another All-Ireland clash sees Leinster take on Connacht in a meeting of Conference B #1 and Conference A #3. 

Leo Cullen’s Leinster has some daylight at the top of Conference B, and has lost to Connacht at home only once since 1955 (!). However, Andy Friend’s team ended an even worse run in Belfast with a victory over Ulster, and come into the game off the back of five straight wins in all competitions. So you never know.

South African teams Southern Kings and Toyota Cheetahs at taking the week off.

French Top 14

For fans in USA and Canada

Can Toulon right the ship? The time is now to do so. Lyon, bolsters by the try-scoring brilliance of Charlie Ngatai and Seru Nakaitaci, is looking solid at 6-4-1 and in 3rd place.  Toulon's Raphael Lakafia is one of the top tacklers in the league with 145 in eight games (only one other player has a better per-game average).

Defending champions Castres came from 6th to win it all last season. Now they sit in 7th, which is outside the playoffs. Who is 6th? Yeah, Bordeaux-Begles, and these two teams face off Sunday. Led by Alex Tulou's five tries, Castres has an attack that is struggling a little. But the club's defense is strong.

French ProD2

For fans in USA and Canada

That's right, the Pro D2 is back on FloRugby. Playoff hopefuls Brive take on Colomiers in a game Brive really needs to win if said playoffs can become a reality. Brive's Thomas Laranjiera leads the league in points at the moment and Sevanaia Galala is among the league-leaders in tries.
