**The latest weekend of hard-fought derby action in the Guinness PRO14 brought a wealth of entertaining contests.** Leinster got back to winning ways, inflicting a first defeat of the season on rivals Ulster and closing the gap on Dan McFarland’s men at the top of Conference A. Saturday’s inter-provincial match-up saw Munster take control of Conference B with a 16-10 triumph at Connacht, who were brought back down to earth after ending Leinster’s 26-match winning streak last weekend. In Wales, Cardiff Blues ended a rollercoaster week on a high with a derby victory over Scarlets while Ospreys returned triumphant from Rodney Parade after beating Dragons. The rearranged Round 9 clash between Zebre and Benetton, meanwhile, saw the hosts hold off a Lions comeback to complete a quickfire derby double and climb off the foot of Conference A. With another action-packed weekend concluded, here’s a reminder of how it all went down… # Leinster 24-12 Ulster
