The United Rugby Championship is in for an entertaining conclusion as just six points separate sixth and 10th place in the table.

In the penultimate round before the play-offs, there are two fixtures on Friday.

Zebre host Scarlets in Italy, while the match of the evening sees Munster travel to Scotland to take on Edinburgh.

The reigning champions are currently third on the table with 58 points and will want to cement their spot in the top four when they face Sean Everitt’s side.

Getting one over a desperate and determined Edinburgh will also boost their chances of a top-two ending.

However, it will be easier said than done as Edinburgh also have a lot at stake. They are seventh with 48 points and a defeat could see them overtaken by Connacht who face Stormers on Saturday.

A win on the other hand will keep their knockout fate in their own hands.
