It was a bad day at the office for Connacht and Leinster in the Guinness Pro12.

Connacht lost 32-14 away to the Scarlets. A single try from Niyi Adeolokun and three penalties from Jack Carty could not compete with four tries from the home team.

Leinster, meanwhile, lost at home for the first time since March of 2013, going down 14-16 to the Dragons.

Glasgow have gone top of the table, after running in eight tries in a 54-10 win away to bottom side, Zebre. They currently sit two points above Munster

In today's Six Nations fixture, Wales have registered their first win in this season's competition, beating Scotland by 26 points to 23 at Murrayfield.

Rhys Webb and Jonathan Davies got the Welsh ties, with Stuart Hogg and Jon Welsh crossing the whitewash for the home side.

But it was Leigh Halfpenny's four penalties to Greig Laidlaw's three that proved decisive.

Meanwhile England have a first win under their belts in this season's Womens Six Nations. They have beaten Italy 39-7 at the Twickenham Stoop.
