Munster show clinical finishing to win away to Ospreys

URC champions showed Swansea side how to pick off opportunities

made it three wins on the spin in the URC as they showed some clinical finishing in Swansea to carve out a valuable victory.

The statistics of the opening quarter were remarkable. After 17 minutes, Ospreys had 70 per cent of the possession, 85 per cent territory ... and trailed 19-0. Ospreys, beaten at home just once this season, were rocked again three minutes later when Sean O’Brien picked off a pass from outhalf Owen Williams to centre Keiran Williams and after speeding down the right, he fended off Keelan Giles to score for the third match in a row. Carbery pulled the conversion across goal.

Munster pushed for the bonus point before the break but Ospreys, despite losing Tipuric to the bin after multiple penalties, held firm to trail 19-5 at the interval and then not concede while down to 14 men.
