Munsters now playing catch-up

Young Munster were unable to take advantage of Garryowen’s Ulster Bank League defeat to Lansdowne because their game against Dolphin was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch at Musgrave Park.

However, they now have a match in hand and are five points behind their Limerick rivals and nine adrift of Lansdowne with games to come against both.

Cork Constitution secured another important victory over champions St Mary’s College, beating the Dublin side 22-13 in a tightly-contested game at Templeville Road.
