Reds do it again

Munster beat Leinster by a convincing 30 points to 6 today at Lansdowne Road. Munster got the quick start they hoped for with early pressure giving O'Gara an easy penalty. Then Leamy scored a try in the 9th minute to make it 10-0. Then Leinster got a penalty only to concede one back to Munster. Another penalty before half time and Munster went in 16-3 ahead at the break. The second half saw Leinster upping the pace. There was no score in teh second half util the 28th minute when Contepomi kicked a penalty to make it 16-6. He missed another penalty and then O'Gara got over for an easy try under the posts. In the final minute Halstead - who had a fantastic game - intercepted inside his own half and sprinted down the field for a try under the posts. O'Gara kicked the conversion and it was all over.

Paul O'Connell was again Man of the Match
