Munster and Leinster collide in round 2 of Interpros, while Ulster host Connacht

Munster began their Vodafone Women's Interprovincial Championship with a bonus-point win over Ulster but they know there is much to improve on.

And the quick-fire nature of the fixture list means they don’t have lots of time to "right a few wrongs", with champions Leinster Saturday’s visitors to Cork.

Alana McInerney’s hat-trick sent Munster on the way to a 29-22 victory but it was the Ulster women who finished stronger, scoring the last two tries and 'winning the second half’ 17-7.

"I think we’d probably be disappointed with how the game finished," head coach Fiona Hayes, in her first match in charge, said on RedFM.

"We were 22-5 up at half-time, and probably didn’t play the best rugby in the second half.

"We’re very happy with how the first half went, but I suppose our disappointment would lie in that second half. In saying that, Ulster were so physical, they came out firing in.
