There may be a plethora of New Zealanders sprinkled through Rugby World Cup sides, but there are also plenty plying their trade, and featuring prominently, in the Guinness PRO12.
After a three week hiatus, allowing the focus to fall on RWC, the PRO12 returned for one round before another week off.
Scarlets maintained their top billing with a 3-0 record after defeating Italian club Zebre. Wing Hadleigh Parkes and centre Regan King turned out for Scarlets.
Edinburgh also went 3-0, beating Ospreys 20-9. First five Phil Burleigh scored a try and former Hawke's Bay loosie Mike Coman appeared at No 6.
Connacht's Kiwi connection was again to the fore in the 36-31 win over Jarrad Hoeata's Cardiff Blues. Flanker Nepia Fox-Matamua scored a try for Pat Lam's side, while Tom McCartney was at hooker and Bundee Aki played second five.
