RaboDirectPRO12 : Stats : Competition Structure

The 11th season of the tournament sees the RaboDirect PRO12 take place across four nations, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales in a 12-team competition.

The RaboDirect PRO12 will consist of a 22 weekend league stage, when all twelve teams will play each other on a home & away basis, with the top four teams at the end of the season qualifying for the Play-Off Semi-finals and Final. The tournament continues through the Rugby World Cup and the 2012 RBS 6 Nations tournaments.

The champions of the 2011/12 RaboDirect PRO12 will be the winners of the Final. The tournament will run from the first weekend of September 2011 with the Final held on the last weekend of May 2012.

Glasgow Warriors head coach Gregor Townsend claims the club's young stars can guide them to silverware next year after a promising RaboDirect PRO12 season fizzled out in the play-offs.

Departing Scarlets winger George North insists he would never be on the brink of making a first appearance for the British and Irish Lions if it wasn't for his time with the Welsh region.

Stuart Hogg's late missed conversion proved costly for Glasgow Warriors as they were cruelly denied a first RaboDirect PRO12 final by a clinical Leinster side at the RDS 17-15.
