There were no surprises in Saturday’s final round of the RaboDirect Pro12. All the results were as expected with the only real issue being the margins in some of the games being a little different than perhaps expected.
Leinster and The Ospreys made hard work of defeating the Dragons and Aironi respectively. At the other end of the scale Glasgow, Edinburgh and Munster ran out far more comprehensive victors than I had thought prior to the weekend.
