Magners League: Round 13 Review

Magners League: Round 13 Review

Round 13 of the Magners League saw Jamie Heaslip and Shane Horgan join Luke Fitzgerald as the joint-top Irish try scorers in this season’s competition, while New Zealand winger Doug Howlett grabbed his first touchdown for Munster in their 42-6 victory over Ulster in Cork.
