Leinster secured a PRO12 double over Munster and moved to the top of the table after a 16-13 victory at the Aviva Stadium. Having already beaten their provincial rivals at Thomond Park in December, Leo Cullens men took advantage of Connachts loss to Ulster on Friday to move back into top spot with three rounds to go.Johnny Sexton was the star for Leinster, finishing with all 16 points, but Munster fly-half Johnny Holland also impressed in only his third PRO12 start. In front of a crowd of 43,108, Sextons timely touchdown just before half-time ended Leinsters 260-minute try drought in the league, and left Munster trailing 10-6. Reaction from both camps after Leinster moved to the top of the PRO12 with a 16-13 victory over Munster at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday. Holland, who started instead of Ian Keatley, had twice kicked the visitors in front before that, and he brilliantly converted his own 47th-minute try for a 13-10 turnaround.But a couple of assured place-kicks from Sexton, with Keatley missing his only attempt of the night, had Leinster on the cusp of their first seasons double over Munster since 2012/13.They had to survive a frenetic late assault on their try-line, though, with Cian Healy in the sin-bin. Mike Sherry went closest for the men in red but Jamie Heaslip and Ben Teo typified a Leinster defence that would not yield. Sean Cronin on the charge for Leinster Munster got off the mark in the 13th minute, Holland slotting over a straightforward penalty after Simon Zebo had knocked on a flat pass from Conor Murray just a few metres out.Lineout issues spoiled Leinsters attempts to respond, with Munster able to clear the danger in their 22 following an excellent steal by the lively Tommy ODonnell.Sexton opened Leinsters account from the kicking tee with 27 minutes gone, punishing a bloodied Donncha Ryan for not rolling away before the Munster lock was forced off. Munsters Keith Earls makes a break A classy break from Rory Scannell preceded Hollands second successful penalty, but Ryans replacement, Robin Copeland, saw yellow soon after for Munsters third maul offence in their 22.Leinster took immediate advantage, pressing from a lineout drive before man-of-the-match Sexton got outside Francis Saili to raid in from close range, bouncing off the left hand post on the way. The conversion put four points between the sides.However, Munster piled forward on the resumption, their pick and goes proving very effective before Holland took advantage of a missed tackle from Sean Cronin to score out wide on the left. Johnny Holland goes over for Munster The Cork youngsters pinpoint conversion was cancelled out by Sextons second successful penalty, two minutes later, as Leinster starlet Garry Ringrose began to make inroads in midfield.Following Hollands departure near the hour mark, Keatley was wide with his one and only shot at the posts and Sexton soon sent Leinster back in front, rewarding Rhys Ruddocks accurate foraging at the breakdown.Into the closing stages, Munster came with wave after wave of attack. Luke McGrath lifted the pressure by winning a ruck penalty for the hosts, but fellow replacement Healys no-arms tackle on Dave Kilcoyne left them down to 14 men for the final four minutes.Munsters well-drilled maul drew a kickable penalty and they went for broke by going to touch, but Heaslips vital tackle on Sherry, followed by a Teo hit that forced a knock-on, saw Leinster prevail in breathless fashion.

The Celtics closed out their first preseason under Stevens on Wednesday night with a 101-97 victory over the Brooklyn Nets, who rested a lot of their lineup including former Celtics Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce. http://www.theredsoxteamshop.com/Red-Sox-Rick-Porcello-Kids-Jersey/ . -- Matt Kuchar and Harris English ran away with the Franklin Templeton Shootout, shooting a 14-under 58 on Sunday in the final-round scramble to break the tournament course record. Boston Red Sox Jerseys . Mats Zuccarello and Derek Stepan scored shootout goals, and backup goalie Cam Talbot earned his second win in two nights as the Rangers shook off a late tying tally and beat the Maple Leafs 2-1 Monday night. Roger Clemens Jersey . To the surprise of many, it isnt the Wolverines but their in-state rivals the Michigan State Spartans. BARCELONA, Spain -- Ivan Rakitic scored in the first half to help Barcelona win 1-0 at Athletic Bilbao on Sunday for a second straight victory at the start of the Spanish league season.The Croatia midfielder headed in a well-placed cross by Arda Turan to cap a quick attack that broke down Bilbaos high defensive line in the 21st minute.Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez were both off-target with a handful of opportunities to seal the victory at San Mames Stadium, but Barcelonas dominant possession game never let Bilbao mount a serious challenge.The matches here are always like this, intense and attractive. We played a good match, Rakitic said. This shows that we are already in form even at this stage of the season.The defending Liga champions joined Real Madrid and the surprising Las Palmas, which routed Granada 5-1 also on Sunday, as the only teams to have taken all six points.Elsewhere, Sevilla drew 0-0 at Villarreal, while Sporting Gijon drew 0-0 at Alaves.Barcelonas win was its 100th in 126 league matches under coach Luis Enrique, who is starting his third season after winning the last two leagues, along with several other titles including a Champions League crown.Its tough to play here and we go home happy, Luis Enrique said. These three points have a lot of merit. The pace was frenetic, and Athletic makes it complicated. We were facing a great rival and we could have put the result beyond doubt early on.As usual, the match at San Mames was an entertaining, up-tempo contest of two contrasting styles.The visitors fared just fine without the injured Andres Iniesta and Neymar, who wont start his season with Barcelona until after Brazils upcoming World Cup qualifiers.Once Rakitic, Messi and the rest of Luis Enriques side got their collective passing game going, they had little trouble transforming Bilbaos pressure into a fruitless pursuit of the ball.dddddddddddd.They knew we were going to pressure them. At the start, we had a couple of good chances, but as the game went on we wore down, said Bilbao manager Ernesto Valverde. We had trouble playing from behind.Barcelonas biggest scare came from a poor pass by goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen, who took over as first-choice in the league after Claudio Bravo moved to Manchester City.Ter Stegen made up for his pass directly to Benat Etxebarria by blocking his resulting shot with his face. Other than that mistake, the German was poised and precise with his passes from the back. The league said Ter Stegens 46 completed passes were the most by a goalkeeper since the 2005-06 season.Besides Rakitics excellent overall performance, coach Luis Enrique can also be pleased with new centerback Samuel Umtiti, as well as the continued form of Turan and Sergi Roberto.Turan had another convincing match in place of Neymar, delivering the pin-point pass for what proved to be Rakitics winner.Roberto, besides being solid in defense at right back, led a rapid counterattack that was spoiled when Suarez volleyed Rakitics cross wide in the 57th.Suarez had a golden chance to grab a goal in the dying seconds of the match when Messi laid the ball off for him with goalkeeper Gorka Iraizoz off his line, but the strikers shot was cleared by Eneko Boveda.In the Canary Islands, Nabil El Zhar scored two goals and set up another to lead Las Palmas destruction of Granada.Kevin-Prince Boateng also scored his second goal since joining for Las Palmas before leaving the match because of injury.Las Palmas has started the season in fine fashion with a league-leading nine goals in two victories.
