Munster slip from the Pro 12 summit but Leinster overcome the reigning champions

Munster have been overtaken at the top of the Guinness Pro12 table, but there were wins elsewhere tonight for Leinster and Ulster.

The Scarlets have moved above Munster at the summit after the Welsh side claimed a dramatic 25-22 win over Anthony Foley's men.

Andrew Conway's try had helped Munster into an early lead but the Scarlets fought their way back into contention before out-half Steven Shingler landed an injury-time penalty to snatch victory.

Leinster beat defending champions Glasgow Warrior 23-18 at the RDS.

After a poor opening-half, a try from Luke McGrath and a penalty-try awarded by the referee allowed Leo Cullen's side to claim a morale-boosting victory.

Meanwhile, Ulster claimed a bonus-point victory over the Cardiff Blues at Kingspan Stadium.

Andrew Trimble, Paul Marshall, Nick Williams and Stuart McCloskey all scored tries as the province moved up into the Top Four with a 24-9 win in Belfast.
