Thomas Ahern's late try spares Munster's blushes in Treviso
Thomas Ahern's last-gasp try spared Munster's blushes as they fought back from 13-3 down to earn a draw in their BKT United Rugby Championship clash at Benetton Treviso. Munster started the campaign with a bonus-point win over Sharks last week but were largely subdued at the Stadio Monigo, where Rhyno Smith's first-half try looked set to prove the difference. The defending champions came on strong in the closing stages and although Scott Buckley saw his try chalked off for a knock-on, Ahern bundled over and Joey Carbery's conversion evened up the scores.
Cardiff 22-23 Benetton: Hosts implode in second half as moment of madness costs them dear
A moment of madness from new signing Ciaran Parker cost Cardiff victory over a resilient Benetton side.The Welsh side were leading with 90 seconds remaining before former London Irish and Leinster prop Parker got red carded for a dangerous high tackle. Jacob Umaga, who had kicked excellently throughout, didn't need a second invitation, and succeeded with his attempt at goal from 45 metres out.In all honesty Cardiff should never have been in this situation having been in almost complete control for the first 50 minutes of the game.
