PRO 12 27-12-16

PRO 12 RUGBY
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
