Blues inspired by maestro Marsh

Leinster A 47 Munster A 15.

With Girvan Dempsey’s defending champions taking on the 2012 winners, this was an intriguing clash on paper, but courtesy of three opening period tries, the Blues were always a couple of steps ahead of their opponents.

An incisive fifth-minute move across the opposition line enabled out-half Marsh to cross over for an unconverted score, and owing to indiscipline by a retreating Munster, he added two more penalties to his tally.
