Celtic Moment Of Truth

IT'S JUDGMENT DAY!

It is the moment of truth in the long-haul chase for the coveted Celtic League title - and three teams are heading for the finishing line with just one point between them for what is guaranteed to be a thrilling climax to the 22-match campaign.

Llanelli Scarlets hold that one-point advantage over Ulster and The Dragons and the Scarlets have home advantage when Andy Ward's team make the trip to a packed Stradey Park looking for the Celtic double of Cup and League.

For their part The Dragons go to Lansdowne Road to meet Leinster Lions with new Wales coach Mike Ruddock quipping "a draw at Stradey would suit us - but we would still have a huge challenge to win in Dublin!"

And while the race for the title is the main focus, for others it is sweaty palms time with qualification for next season's Heineken Cup hanging in the balance between Cardiff Blues and Neath-Swansea Ospreys in particular.
