Dragons roar past Leinster

I enjoyed watching a MAGNERS LEAGUE rugby union match live on SETANTA SPORTS today.
NEWPORT GWENT DRAGONS scored four first-half tries to defeat visiting LEINSTER, 30-14, at RODNEY PARADE.

The victory enabled the Dragons to move up to fourth place in the Magners League, a collection of regional sides from WALES, IRELAND and SCOTLAND.
Aled Brew (pictured), James Arlidge, Wayne Evans and Richard Fussell scored tries for the Dragons.
Arlidge is an interesting case: Born in New Zealand, he represents JAPAN internationally. He debuted for the Cherry Blossoms, as Japan's rugby union team is known, in an 82-0 drubbing of South Korea.

Dublin-based Leinster managed a late try through Simon Keogh, but the Irish commentators were rather savage in their criticism of the team -- particularly the poor tackling of the visitors.
