FRIDAY
TREVISO 23-12 ZEBRE
ULSTER 23-7 CONNACHT
ROSS TRY WINS MATCH
FOR ULSTER
McCloskey's score helped his side to a 13-0 half-time
advantage, with Ross crossing after the interval and Paddy Jackson adding 13
points with the boot.
Jack Carty converted his own try for Connacht's only points
of the game.
This win puts Ulster back into the race for 4th
spot and I wonder what can happen there
MONDAY
MUNSTER 29-17 LEINSTER
STANDER MAKES
DIFFRENCE FOR MUNSTER
Zane Kirchner's try put Leinster ahead before Simon Zebo's
well-taken score and a Ronan O'Mahony effort just before the break helped
Munster move 14-10 up.
Helped by a greater complement of Ireland players, Munster
dominated after half-time as Tommy O'Donnell and CJ Stander added further
tries.
Richardt Strauss replied with a late try but it was
Munster's evening.
Munster have shown in this match that they have the grit
needed to get the win here and I think that that if they can keep their minds
on the job anything can happen
EDINBURGH 12-25 GLASGOW
GLASGOW SHOW WHY
THEY ARE BEST IN SCOTLAND
Junior Bulumakau was gifted an early try at Murrayfield and
Josh Strauss crashed through a rolling maul to restore the visitors' lead.
Duncan Weir had kicked the hosts in front with two penalties
and added two more but that was it for Edinburgh.
In a largely scrappy contest, Alex Dunbar finished off the
best move of the game for Warriors' third try.
Glasgow have shown that they can beat anyone on their day
and this has been proven here. I think that they can reach thee last 8 of the
heniken cup
BLUES 27-16 DRAGONS
NAVADI SCORES TRIES
FOR BLUES
Blues dominated possession and territory, but needed a Josh
Navidi try on the stroke of half-time to make their advantage tell.
That followed an early score by man-of-the-match Steven
Shingler and a close-range touchdown by Kristian Dacey.
Ashton Hewitt crossed for Dragons, while Blues' Shingler
scored 17 points.
Shingler's fly-half rival Angus O'Brien kept them in touch
with the conversion of Hewitt's try and three penalties.
After an incident-packed first half, neither team looked
like adding a try in the second with Matthew Morgan's penalty miss the closest
either team came to scoring after the break.
The hosts contained the Dragons' challenge, but failed to
claim the bonus point which looked to be on the cards at half-time.
Cardiff have shown in this match that they are the best of
the worst in wales and that they need things to happen for them so they can improve.
I think mid table will be ok
