Magners League highlights return to STV on Sunday

After a two week break for the Heineken Cup, the Magners League returns to action this weekend and you can watch all the highlights live on STV and online via the STV Player on Sunday at 5.05pm.

This weekend's highlights include Edinburgh's home tie with Munster, which sees last season's second and first placed sides go head to head. Glasgow Warriors are also in action, hosting Connacht at Firhill Arena as they look to build on a win over Cardiff Blues in their last league encounter.

Edinburgh welcome back leading points scorer Chris Paterson for the Munster match, after injury ruled him out of last weekend's Heineken Cup tie with Ulster.

Paterson has 61 points to his name already this season in the Magners League and his return is a timely boost for an Edinburgh side still pushing for top spot with four games played.

For Warriors, Max Evans and Richie Gray are available for selection after both returning from injury, with coach Sean Lineen boosted by their inclusion, saying: “We’re really looking forward to them coming back.

“Max is a quality player. He adds another dimension to outside-centre play with his ability to beat his opposite man and has a little bit more experience now. He got a taste of Scotland action last year and wants to get back in there.
 
“Richie Gray played against Connacht in his first game last season and made a big impact, literally. He’s a big lad. He’s young but creates a pretty potent second-row combination with Al Kellock and I’m looking forward to seeing that work.”

There's also all the points scored from the weekend's three other fixtures. Scarlets host Dragons and Ospreys travel to face Cardiff Blues in two all-Welsh encounters, whilst leaders Ulster welcome Leinster to the RDS Arena.

If you miss the live highlights show on Sunday, don't worry. You can catch all the action again shortly afterwards via the STV Player.
