Ronan O'Gara continued his impressive run of form, leading Munster to a comprehensive 22-5 win over arch-rivals Leinster at a packed Thomond Park.

Second-half tries from Keith Earls and Denis Fogerty helped the Heineken Cup champions dispatch Leinster and pull seven points clear at the top of the Celtic League table.

O'Gara (pictured) kicked two penalties in the space of six minutes late in the first half to get the scoring underway after Felipe Contepomi had pulled the first of four missed penalties wide of the posts.

O'Gara then added another three points just after the re-start before Earls benefitted from a sublime David Wallace pass to hand off Healy and touch down.

O'Gara missed the conversion and Shane Horgan freed up Gordon D'Arcy to touch down to create brief signs of a Leinster revival.

But Contempomi again missed his kick and Munster finished the match with Fogerty's try, set up when O'Gara set Barry Murphy free on the left wing.

Scarlets 21-38 Glasgow

John Barclay and Thom Evans both scored twice as Glasgow ran in six-tries against the Scarlets at Parc y Scarlets.

Scotland star Evans opened the scoring touching down in the left corner, before Barclay added both of his tries to leave Glasgow leading 19-3 after just 20 minutes.

Glasgow then secured their bonus point-winning fourth try when prop Moray Low crashed over the line following a Barclay line-out in the opposition 22.

The Scarlets did manage to rally a comeback of sorts, with centre Gavin Evans and flanker Dafydd Jones scoring tries either side of half-time, along with Stephen Jones's second penalty of the afternoon.

But Max Evans and brother Thom added Glasgow's fifth and sixth tries respectively to kill the match and also the Scarlets hope of getting back into the title race.
