The 2nd RowShow Notes

Connacht victorious on one of those great European nights, Leinster start slow but ease to a TBP win in Clermont, Munster make hard work of an unorganised Racing 92 on an emotional night for the province, and Ulster get the job done in Parma in a no glory game.
A bit later than normal but the URC rd 3 review is up. Connacht ill discipline and lack of clinical finish rob them of opportunity, Munster and Ulster play a game of 2 halves leaving Ulster still winless this season, and Leinster make easy work of Cardiff but lose shape as the game went on
Its the 3rd round of the URC the internationals are back! Connacht are in Scotstoun a place that isn't a happy hunting ground for many, its the 1st Interpro of the season, and Leinster return to the RDS
Connacht win it near the death with a gutsy display away in Benetton, Ulster get more than most in Scotstoun but should've got more, Munster beat the Bulls but O'Shea is the real story, and Leinster have scrum issues but leave South Africa with more points than last year.
The Provinces are looking to bounce back after a tough opening weekend Connacht Ulaster and Munster all welcome back some internationals while Leinster are facing a bit of a backrow depth problem in South Africa. Will it be another weekend without a winning Irish team or will one or more of the four step up and get the wins going
