The second week of the Guinness Pro 12 has brought about the first clean sweep of the season for the Irish sides after Leinster's victory on Saturday added to Friday night wins for Munster, Connacht and Ulster.

Munster kicked of the weekend on Friday night and they managed to put a difficult couple of weeks behind them with a 21-10 win away at Treviso. Tries from C.J. Stander and Simon Zebo were added to by 11 points from the boot of Ian Keatley to give Anthony Foley his first competitive win as Munster boss.

Connacht had the most impressive and hard fought win of the weekend after a late Willie Faloon try snatched victory in Edinburgh. The 14-13 win keeps Pat Lam's men as the only unbeaten Irish side after two matches.
