Ulster hammer depleted Munster

Ulster 27 Munster 3

It was, though, a further bitter blow to Munster’s Heineken Cup chances as Barry Murphy and Ian Dowling, Declan Kidney’s young stars, were both carted off to hospital.

Murphy’s season is definitely over after he dislocated his ankle and fractured his tibia. Dowling has a neck/shoulder injury but is not being ruled out of the Heineken Cup quarter-final with Perpignan.
