Munster Make It Two From Two With Leinster Interpro Win - Munster ... (Munster Rugby)

However, Leinster mounted a comeback and with just four points between the sides, Stephanie Carroll crossed in the corner to ensure victory for Munster in what ...

Cronin landed the conversion to give Munster a 21-7 lead. She was tackled just before the 22 but a Leinster knock on gave Munster a good scrum platform to attack. Nicole landed a tricky conversion to level the game at 7-7. Munster crossed for their second try. Early in the second-half, Clodagh O’Halloran’s try gave Munster some breathing room as Munster stretched out their lead to 21-7. After some solid defending, Jenny Murphy found a gap to cross for the game’s opening score.

Despite Jenny Murphy, Elise O'Byrne-White and Aoife Dalton breaching the home team's rearguard, a four-try haul from Niamh Briggs' Munster ultimately gave them ...

Eimear Corri (Portlaoise RFC/Blackrock College RFC) / Elaine Anthony (Old Belvedere RFC) 44 mins Jess Keating (Old Belvedere RFC) / Lisa Callan (Railway Union RFC) 61 mins Elise O’Byrne-White (Old Belvedere RFC) / Ailsa Hughes (Tullamore RFC/Railway Union RFC) 62 mins Aoife Dalton (Tullamore RFC/Old Belvedere RFC) The yellow card issued to Munster’s international flanker Maeve Og O’Leary ensured that Leinster ended the game with a numerical supremacy and they seized advantage of the additional space inside the opposition defence through Aoife Dalton’s superb one-handed finish in the left-corner five minutes from time. After registering a five-pointer off the bench against Connacht, O’Byrne-White was rewarded with a place in the starting line-up for this fixture. While Munster held out to bring a 14-7 cushion into the interval, Leinster remained firmly in contention on the resumption. Another successful Cronin conversion created further daylight between the teams. Although the Leinster defence initially kept them at bay, scrum-half Muirne Wall picked out loosehead prop Roisin Ormond for a powerful finish over the whitewash. It was proving to be a pulsating start to this tie on the Leeside with both teams playing with total commitment and no lack of attacking intent. This was Murphy’s third try of the tournament, supplementing the excellent brace she bagged in the Connacht game. Showing four changes from the team that earned a 38-10 opening round win over Connacht at Energia Park seven days earlier, Leinster enjoyed a dream start to the contest.
