Clinical Munster racked up seven tries in a 49-5 demolition of an outclassed Zebre in their one-sided Guinness PRO12 clash at Thomond Park.Munster had the bonus point in safe-keeping by half-time after scoring four tries in the opening half. They added three more touchdowns, with CJ Stander completing a brace, to make it four wins in five league outings.All seven tries were converted, four by fly-half Tyler Bleyendaal and the final three from replacement Ian Keatley who passed the 1,000-point career mark for the Irish province.A very satisfying night for Munsters director of rugby Rassie Erasmus also included a return to action for Ireland back rower Peter OMahony following his 12-month lay-off for a serious knee injury.OMahony was sprung from the bench for the final 20 minutes and received a huge ovation from the home supporters, having been injured playing for Ireland at last autumns Rugby World Cup.Munster took a firm grip on the game in the opening half, laying the foundations for the win. They bagged their first try inside four minutes when flying winger and man of the match Darren Sweetnam touched down, following a fine break from Conor Murray.After Zebre number 10 Carlo Canna pushed a penalty attempt right and wide in the ninth minute, Munster survived another scare when only a desperate cover tackle from Sweetnam prevented Giovanbattista Venditti from running the length of the pitch to score an intercept try in the 21st minute.Having survived that let-off, scrum-half Murray added Munsters second try soon after when he broke from the back of a maul. Try number three arrived for the province just before the half-hour mark when number eight Stander blocked down an attempted clearance from the Zebre defence before touching down.Munster had the bonus point in the bag in the 32nd minute when Bleyendaal intercepted on halfway and the pacy Simon Zebo collected Murrays neat chip through before touching down for a 28-0 interval lead. Munster were awarded a penalty try in the 52nd minute when Sweetnam was impeded as he looked set to score, and Erasmus men, who visit provincial rivals Leinster next week, added further tries through prop Stephen Archer and Stander.Archer charged over on 64 minutes after Keatley broke and passed before Stander broke away in the closing minutes following Duncan Williams pass. Between those scores Zebre bagged a consolation try when winger Gabriele di Giulio crossed in the corner in the 72nd minute. Authentic Air Max Australia Shoes .

HARTFORD, Conn. -- UConn eased past Chattanooga to stretch its winning streak to 80 games and that has coach Geno Auriemma concerned.Napheesa Collier scored 23 points to lead the nations No. 2-ranked team to an 80-43 rout of the Mocs on Tuesday night.Katie Lou Samuelson added 19 points for the Huskies and the two sophomores combined to hit 19 of their 30 shots from the field.UConn has won 127 of their last 128 games and 52 straight at home.But Auriemma said he hopes those streaks will be tested when the Huskies face No. 15 DePaul on Thursday and four other top-25 teams in December .Cause we need to get our ass beat and soon and bad, so that some of our guys will come to realize that this is not as easy as they think it is, Auriemma said.UConn (5-0) led by just 12 points at halftime, before holding Chattanooga scoreless for more than 8 minutes during an 18-0 third quarter run. That gave the Huskies a 61-33 lead and put the game out of reach. The Mocs had just 12 points after intermission.Collier said she agrees with her coach that the Huskies didnt play tough enough in the first half, something that could come back to bite them in the coming weeks.Hopefully it doesnt take a loss to wake us up, she said.Gabby Williams scored 11 points and had 10 rebounds, the second straight game she has reached double figures both points and rebounds and the 11th double-double of her career.Four players finished with nine points for Chattanooga (3-6), including Chelsey Shumpert, who sat out the Mocs last two games with an ankle injury.UConn dominated underneath, outscoring Chattanooga 48-16 in the paint, and outrebounding the Mocs 44-32.The Huskies played without freshman point guard Crystal Dangerfield, who missed the game with concussion-like symptoms after bumping her head in UConns win over Dayton a week ago. Auriemma said she still needs to pass several parts of her concussion protocol before being cleared to play against DePaul.THE BIG PICTUREUConn: Without Dangerfield, the Huskies had to rely more on senior guard Sanaya Chong and junior Kia Nurse to run the offense. Nurse had 12 points and dished out four of UConns 21 assists. Chong finished with three points andd five assists.dddddddddddd.UConns winning streak is just the third 80-game streak in Division I basketball history, behind only its own program record of 90 straight from 2008-10 and the UCLA mens record of 88 consecutive victories from 1971-74.Chattanooga: Coach Jim Foster has put his team through a tough non-conference schedule that included losses to teams such as Florida, Indiana and Louisville. The Mocs play top-ranked Notre Dame next month and must guard against losing confidence while dropping games to the bigger names in womens college basketball.I think in the long run it has to help because you have to learn to play hard every night, Foster said. The program has had success within of the framework of our conference and getting to the NCAA Tournament, but it hasnt had success winning in the NCAA Tournament. Playing more teams that are going to be playing in March, you get an idea of what you have to be like.POLL IMPLICATIONS:UConns ranking likely wont be affected by this game. Barring any upsets, they should stay where they are until the Dec. 7 showdown with top-ranked Notre Dame in South Bend.HE SAID IT:Auriemma said hes coached several teams that had the ability to dominate all competition and others that won because they refused to back down from anyone under any circumstances.We gave up like eight layups in the first five minutes of the game, so were not that, he said. And yet we dont have that kind of talent that blows you away, like weve had in the past. So, that means that every single minute of every day, every practice, every game, theyve got to be tough, hard-nosed and I mean really tough. And thats hard to do.UP NEXT:UConn: The Huskies begin their December gauntlet of games against ranked teams when they face No. 15 DePaul on Thursday. The Huskies then travel to face No. 14 Texas on Dec. 4 before their Dec. 7 showdown with No. 1 Notre Dame. UConn also faces No. 9 Ohio State and No. 5 Maryland before January.Chattanooga: The Mocs visit Tennessee-Martin on Saturday, before returning home to face Stetson. ' ' '
