Bennett is an injury worry for Edinburgh

- GUINNESS PRO14

Edinburgh centre Mark Bennett suffered a hamstring injury as Scotland’s pro teams experience­d mixed fortunes in the Guinness Pro14 last night.

Bennett was taken off midway through the first half as the capital side lost 30-29 to Ulster in Belfast, the home side winning with the last kick of the ball.

“Mark has a hamstring injury, I am not sure how bad it is, we need to see,” said Edinburgh coach Richard Cockerill. “It’s very disappoint­ing for him and it’s never good when you see a man stretchere­d from the field.”

At Scotstoun, Glasgow missed out on a bonus point but beat Munster 25-10. The Warriors raced into a 22-0 half-time lead with tries from Callum Gibbins, Stuart Hogg and Adam Ashe, but the Irish side were transforme­d after the break.

“You want to pick up bonus points and having three tries first half we should have scored it before half-time,” said coach Dave Rennie. “But you’ve got to pay tribute to Munster’s defence too.”

Rennie said he hadn’t seen a 15th-minute incident involving a Gibbins shoulder charge at a ruck. The TMO didn’t either despite a lengthy look but Munster counterpar­t Johann van Graan felt it was a “turning point” in the match.
