FRIDAY
GLASGOW 27-24 MUNSTER
PUAISIFI DOUBLE
GIVES GLASGOW BONUS POINT WIN
Glasgow reignited their Pro12 season with a thrilling bonus
point-win over Munster at Rugby Park in Kilmarnock.
Last year's finalists produced a frantic opening with
Glasgow on top from two converted Sila Puafisi tries.
Munster came storming back with two tries from another prop,
Dave Kilcoyne, and Ian Keatley kicked a penalty.
Glasgow's Duncan Weir sped over in the corner and added a
penalty before Mike Sherry made it 24-22 to 14-man Munster ahead of Glenn
Bryce's match-winner.
Glasgow are getting better and look to be back in the mix
after their poor form early season. Munster seem to be the disappointment this
season which is not the normal story of Irish rugby and they do not look too
good and look to be competing for Europe
OSPREYS 27-13 EDINBURGH
OTTEN TRY GIVES
OSPREYS VITAL WIN
Ospreys climbed into the top six of the Pro12 with a
hard-fought victory over mid-table rivals Edinburgh.
The Scots led 13-6 at one stage thanks to a try from prop
Alan Dell.
But Sam Underhill's touchdown levelled the scores, before
Sam Davies' string of second-half penalties and a late Scott Otten try sealed
the hosts' win.
Wales flanker Dan Lydiate spent time in the sin-bin before
playing his part in the Ospreys' revival.
Ospreys were one game away from reaching the quarter finals
in the European cup this season which does show that they are a good side but
the big question that has to be asked can they get on a run and compete for the
top 4 as that is what I think they will need to compete in Europe next season
TREVISO 19-17 DRAGONS
THEESE ARE THE TYPES
OF WINS ITALAN SIDES NEED
Hallam Amos strengthened his claim for a Wales starting
shirt, but could not stop the Newport Gwent Dragons slipping to defeat at
Treviso.
The 21-year-old flyer showed Warren Gatland what he’s
missing when he raced home in the first half. But tries from Angelo Esposito,
Filo Paulo and Ludovico Nitoglia secured a 19-17 triumph and the Italians’
second win of the season.
Cory Hill crashed over, but the Dragons could not muscle
over for a winning score and remain 10th in the Guinness Pro12.
These are the types of wins Italians need to improve
themselves as a rugby nation and wins like this show improvement in Italian
rugby but at the same time it does not feel like real improvement
