Ronan hat-trick keeps Munster sitting pretty

MUNSTER increased their lead in the Magners League with a big win over Glasgow Warriors at Firhill last night, with man-of-the-match Niall Ronan claiming three of his side’s four tries.

This was a confident display from a Munster side that was missing a number of their international contingent, but their strength in depth showed through with dominant forward play and the ability to manage the game when they were down to fourteen men on either side of the interval.

Skipper Mick O’Driscoll was at the heart of the Munster’s strong forward play, and Ireland scrum-half Peter Stringer’s second-half kicking secured the win for the visitors. The other player behind the scrum to contribute hugely was outside-half Paul Warwick, despite missing several goal kicks.
