Ulster made it 3 wins in a row with a comprehensive 53-13 win over Connacht at Ravenhill on Friday 28th Nov. Glasgow also had an impressive 28-0 win over Cardiff, leaving the Welsh club without a win away from home in this year's competition. The Ospreys slipped down to third in the Magners League table as they were beaten 32-16 by Edinburgh at Murrayfield. Edinburgh made the most of Wales' test match against Australia, as the Ospreys had 9 players on international duty. Munster maintained their lead at the top of the table thanks to a last minute Ronan O'Gara penalty against the Scarlets. The Scarlets were denied a first night win at their new stadium Parc y Scarlets as the match ended 16-18 in Munster's favour. The only match on Saturday 29th Nov saw Leinster end a 3 game losing streak with a win over Newport Gwent Dragons. The Dragons lead at half time but Leinster rallied after the break to win 29-13 which sees them move up to 4th in the table.
