BETWEEN THE OPENING two inter-provincial clashes of the year we had just about everything.
A little bit of bite, low temperatures, high intensity and, from Connacht, a shock and a touch of magic.
There are four more inter-pros still to come before the season’s out, but they’ll be a bit of wait. Until then, just sit back and enjoy (or, if your home province lost, stew) watching the highlights.
Connacht 24 Munster 16
Leinster 24 Ulster 11
Now, don’t you feel better?
