Electric Earls slays Dragons

MUNSTER surged to third spot in the Magners League with a facile victory over hapless Newport Gwent Dragons at Musgrave Park last night.

The European champions ran in seven tries when the sides met in Cork last November and they repeated that feat last night.

But as the satisfied home fans made their way home after watching Munster secure a bonus point and force their way into third place with a game in hand over joint leaders Llanelli and Ospreys, the talk was mainly about the brightest new kid on the block — Keith Earls.
