**Dai Young was thankful for a dose of "Welsh weather" in Durban after Cardiff pulled off a stunning 35-0 victory over the Cell C Sharks.** The win was the stand-out result as the United Rugby Championship returned with a bang in Round 8. Benetton overcame Edinburgh 24-17 despite an early red card while Munster beat interpro rivals Connacht by the same scoreline in Limerick. The other Welsh regions did not fare as well as Cardiff in South Africa, with the Scarlets beaten 36-19 at the DHL Stormers, the Ospreys losing 43-26 at the Vodacom Bulls and the Dragons suffering a 33-25 defeat to the Emirates Lions in Johannesburg. In the weekend's remaining fixtures, Leinster were 40-5 winners over Glasgow Warriors and Ulster beat Zebre Parma 36-15. Here we round up the reaction of some of those involved in Round 8.
