Two wins out of two have Lansdowne in table-topping form in Division 1A, while St. Mary's College, Young Munster, UCD and Garryowen all bounced back with their opening victories of the campaign today.

Division 1B leaders UL Bohemians continued their excellent start to the new season by defeating one of the main rivals for promotion, Ballynahinch, in a very entertaining nine-try clash in Limerick today.

Connacht were held scoreless in the second half as the Scarlets swept past them to claim their first win (17-8) of the GUINNESS PRO12 season, leaving Pat Lam's men bottom of the table.

Three tries in an 18-minute spell either side of half-time saw Munster emerge as 28-14 bonus point winners over Edinburgh at Thomond Park.
