GUINNESS PRO12: Round 9 Preview

After a round that saw five home wins, Connacht retained their table-topping position thanks to a result that bucked that trend, away to Munster at Thomond Park. On a blustery weekend, match results were so tight that losing bonus points were claimed in four of the games, whereas the only try-scoring bonus point was in Edinburgh's 32-13 victory over the Newport Gwent Dragons.
