Dragons 9 Munster 20: Leinster's brief reign at the top of the Celtic League lasted less than 24 hours as pacesetters Munster moved three points clear with another win for the Irish provinces in Wales.
Following Leinster’s hard-fought triumph over the Ospreys on Friday night, it was the Dragons who fell to an Irish team as Tony McGahan’s side ran out thoroughly deserving winners.
Ciaran O'Boyle, deputising once more for the injured Rua Tipoki, continued to make the most of his limited opportunities this season, marking just his second appearance with another try to get Munster off and running.
Paul Warwick, who had knocked over an earlier penalty, duly converted to open a lead the visitors were never going to relinquish. Warwick slotted another kick at goal midway through the half while the Dragons had just one James Arlidge kick to show for their endeavour.
Munster lost both Darragh Hurley and Alan Quinlan to the sin-bin after the interval but the Dragons were unable to make inroads into their lead and when substitute Anthony Horgan crossed just after the hour the game was up for the home side.
