Munster Rugby

After Leinster made hard work of Zebre, Munster are similarly having a tough day thus far.

Zebre get the penalty for a high Leinster tackle. There are just four points separating the sides now. Zebre knock the ball on when gunning for a try that would put them into the lead. This is far from the demolition that many predicted. It's all over and Leinster have survived a scare to see off Zebre and win in Parma. Try Cardiff

The only blot on Dai Young's copybook was a first-half injury to Liam Williams, with questions now surrounding the fitness of him and winger Owen Lane, who was ...

However, Cardiff were made to settle for a penalty from Evans that pushed them ahead once more as the match entered the final 10 minutes. Dacey loops round the back and feeds Llewellyn. A spellbinding show that has, in fairness, been a familiar one for anyone watching Welsh rugby for the past decade. Not only was the score pleasing in the sense that it was, to borrow a cliché, 'straight off the training ground', but because seconds earlier, Dacey had seen his arrows pinched at an attacking lineout metres out from the Munster line. Among his interventions was a clearance kick that fell to fellow new recruit Thomas Young, only for the flanker to be caught when the tryline beckoned. Once again, the Irish side struggled to get to grips with the explosive Llewellyn. The second-half remained scoreless up until the 64th minute - although the class and influence of Faletau shone through with every touch the No. Another Healy penalty was the visitor's consolation prize - albeit a prize that handed them the lead for the first time. From there, the Irish province threatened to wrestle back some momentum as they gradually earned more attacking opportunities in the Cardiff half. Having impressed early on, the sight of full-back Williams walking down the tunnel with his arm tucked into his jersey like a makeshift sling wasn't the what any Cardiff fan would have hoped to see. Having had little in the way of possession or territory, a Ben Healy penalty got them on the scoreboard. The young midfielder, who has reportedly impressed in pre-season training, barged through Fineen Wycherley's attempted tackle before regathering his balance to race away from the scrambling defence and score the opening points.

Fekitoa and Jack O’Sullivan carried well in the build-up with O’Sullivan eventually scoring from close range. Munster retook the lead just past the hour as Jean Kleyn won a breakdown penalty and Crowley kicked Munster up to the Cardiff 22. Ben Healy kicked two penalties for Munster in the first half but Cardiff led 12-6 at the interval thanks to a try late in the half from Kristian Dacey.
