Ulster 19 - 17 Glasgow
Leinster 13 - 9 Munster
Magners League
The result of the weekend has to be Leinster's win over Munster. Experts - what do they know? Not a lot by the sound of things. Even though there are certain teams that treat the Magners as if it was sponsored by Disney (Leinster, Munster, Cardiff, Ospreys I hope your ears are burning) neither side wanted to lose this match. As a Munster supporter said to me, I guess Leinster wanted to lose it less.The wet conditions made ball handling difficult, so the quality wasn't the highest, but you couldn't match it for passion. Leinster seem to be getting back some of their verve as Carney and Fitzgerald found their dancing feet and Munster...I don't know what to say really, they should have won this match on this season's form. I think they are missing Paul O'Connell a lot. Hat's off to BOD for popping up in the right place at the right time. 5 in row? Wow.
The Aviva seemed to be rocking, and the blue light display at the end was awesome - did they have some red lights on stand by if need be? I wonder if the lights were left over from the Buble concert?
In other Irish action, Connacht lost but didn't disgrace themselves against a Cardiff side who look like they could easily balance the Irish national deficit with all those foreign stars. Fionn Carr must be knocking on the National sides door.
Ulster sorted out Glasgow - maybe not as easily as they should have, but the big news in that match was the impressive debut of Ruan Pienaar, who is going to be an excellent buy for Ulster I'm sure. Hope they find game time for Williams as well. They could easliy be the form Irish province this season.
Exiles
London Irish stomped all over Leeds 40-24 to remain top of the heap
Shark Bite
Sharks 56 - Leopards 6
What's the adjective for a score like that? The Sharks obliterated the Leopards in a 9 try rout - still wouldn't have been satisfied with anything less though.
