Ulster deservedly claim the spoils as Leinster have an out of BODy experience!

Still one the few things giving sliced bread a run for it's money in Ireland (picture http://bit.ly/13Jl3eN)

There was some difficult watching this weekend, for Irish supporters. What do the Scottish sides have against Munster – first of all Edinburgh did a number on the Munster men, and then they got absolutely monstered by Glasgow. It was pretty sobering stuff – OK, it doesn’t help when you gift wrap two trys and present them on a plate to Glasgow – but even losing 37 -24 would have been a poor result. Munster seem to have their structure, and what remains is lots of undirected passion. Glasgow, for their part, are simply playing great rugby.
The Ospreys and Scarlets managed to dodge their bullets and accumulate points. So tit was left to Leinster, on a roll, to keep top spot by beating Ulster, who haven’t been on a roll. Sounds simple enough, but it was beyond the menn in Blue, who have lost their rhythm. Ok if you put Sexton, O’Driscoll and D’Arcy back in, it could have been different, but apart from Madigan – who had to try and win it on his won again – dem boys dat were left, dey ain’t got no riddum!  Leinster win when their backline run around people, not into them, and BOD is the king of that. And the pack was struggling, so not surprising Ulster claimed a hard fought and deserved win, doing all the basics right, and defending ferociously for the last 10 minutes.
