Munster make Leinster fold in game of cards, Edinburgh beat Glasgow again
By Rob Lancaster
Leinster had James Lowe sent off as their seven-game unbeaten Pro14 run was ended by rivals Munster in an eventful derby clash at Thomond Park.
The Conference B leaders had won the last four meetings between the teams but paid the price for poor discipline on Saturday, with Cian Healy and Tadhg Furlong both sent to the sin-bin inside the first half-hour of the fixture.
Furlong was still off the field when Lowe was shown a red card for taking out Andrew Conway as the Munster player attempted to claim a high kick, the challenge seeing him land on his head as he was flipped in the air.
Chris Cloete scored a try before being carried off on a stretcher while Keith Earls intercepted a pass to reach the line for the hosts, who relied on Joey Carbery's boot - the fly-half kicked 14 points against his former team - to secure a 26-17 win.
Scarlets also saw an impressive streak of their own come to an emphatic halt as they lost at home for the first time in 27 games, going down 34-5 to Cardiff Blues in a one-sided Welsh derby.
Ray Lee-Lo grabbed two of the visiting team's four tries, Gareth Anscombe securing the additional bonus point in the closing stages when he picked off a pass to score.
Edinburgh retained the 1872 Cup with a game to spare thanks to a hard-fought 16-8 victory away at Glasgow.
Jaco van der Walt kicked 11 points, including converting Stuart McInally's try, as the visitors prevailed at Scotstoun Stadium, with Conference A leaders Glasgow even missing out on a losing bonus when Adam Hastings was unable to add the extras after George Horne had touched down.
Edinburgh had won 23-7 against the same opponents in the first meeting of the best-of-three series last week, though they still remain fifth in Conference B.
Benetton came out on top in the all-Italian clash with Zebre, triumphing 28-10 to complete the double over their compatriots.
Having triumphed 10-8 in the previous meeting of the teams in Parma, Benetton managed three tries - Luca Bigi, Federico Ruzza and Michele Lamaro the scorers - to run out comfortable winners at Stadio Monigo.

Yeah, I don’t really get it either.
The teams will need to be more competitive at some stage as I’m sure it won’t be cost effective before long. It’s a lot of money and resources they have to pump into it just to field teams, let alone compete.
Even with the Boks only focus being on RWC’s, the euro comps would be a great way to develop test players in the first 1-3 years of a RWC cycle.
Go to commentsIt's a fact: Reddit has always been, is, and will be my source for crypto discussions, security tips, and market trends. Little did I know it would be the same site that helped save me from financial ruin. Some months ago, an AMA thread about Trust Geeks Hack Expert showed up. People asked them anything: from lost wallet recoveries to phishing scams; their answers sounded really detailed, transparent, and full of insight. At the time, I didn't know that their help was near. It all started with what I thought was a routine software update. I had received an e-mail from what looked like a trusted exchange, telling me to install an important patch. The email looked *legit—*matching the branding, formatting, and even the usual tone of messages I had received before. Without a second thought, I downloaded the update and installed it. Biggest mistake of my life. It froze within minutes, and then it automatically restarted. My crypto wallet was empty when I regained access. $200,000-gone. At first, I thought it was some kind of glitch, but as I dug deeper, the cold reality hit me hard: I had been hacked. The "update" was a form of malware designed to drain wallets by injecting malicious code. Panic set in, but rather than spiral, I remembered the Trust Geeks Hack Expert AMA. Their confidence in handling cases like mine had stood out to me. I rushed back to the thread, found their contact details Website https://trustgeekshackexpert.com/-- Email: trustgeekshackexpert{@}fastservice{.}com, and reached out immediately. Their response was prompt and very reassuring. They asked for every little detail I could remember-from the time of the installation of the fake update to the exact nature of the transactions I had done prior to this. They got to work, tracing the movement of my stolen funds using some advanced blockchain forensics.
Days went by, and I had my doubts, but they kept me updated. Then came a message that I was praying for; they had recovered my $200,000. It sounded like a dream come true. All stress, regret, and anger vanished at that moment. Trust Geeks Hack Expert saved not only my funds but also taught me a lesson which will never be forgotten: never trust email links. Now, I double-check every update; use cold storage for large amounts; don't click on anything that's remotely suspicious. If not for that Reddit AMA, I would have never found the only team skilled enough to turn my disaster into a comeback story.
