Cardiff Blues, Ospreys and Scarlets will all now play next weekend as fixtures rearranged

Three Welsh regions will be in action next weekend after a series of PRO14 fixture rearrangements.

The cancellation of the next two weekends' European Champions and Challenge Cup pool stage matches meant Wales' regions faced two weekends without action, but fans will be treated to another Welsh derby between Scarlets and Cardiff Blues on Friday, January 22.

This round 14 fixture was due to be played in February, but all parties have agreed to bring it forward given the availability in the calendar.

The two regions last faced each other on January 9, with the Blues winning 29-20 at Cardiff City Stadium.

Ospreys will also travel to Connacht on Sunday, January 24, in what was due to be a round eight fixture already rescheduled for February 13.

PRO14 say the fixtures for rounds 12 and 16 are now under final review and will be published in due course.

A statement said: "PRO14 Rugby would like to acknowledge the efforts made by all of our broadcasters and clubs to rearrange five fixtures over these upcoming weekends and take on the logistical challenges at such short notice. Without the willingness of everyone involved this would not have been possible."
