    There were lots of positives for the Ospreys, especially in the way they defended and forced mistakes from Munster.

  2. Munster reap rewards of impressive first half

    FT: Ospreys 10-26 Munster

    Job done for Munster, who leave Bridgend with five points after avoiding an Ospreys banana skin.

    Conditions were tricky but the Irish province climb to second thanks to their impressive first-half performance.

    They led 19-3 at the break and stretched 26-3 in front before letting their standards slip a little.

    However, they'll be happy to have bagged the maximum haul before taking on Leinster and Ulster in the coming weeks.

    More URC frustration for Ospreys, whose main aim for the season will be going deep in the European Challenge Cup. First they'll eye derby bragging rights against Scarlets and Cardiff.

    Attention tonight now turns to Rodney Parade and Dragons versus Connacht...

  3. Full-time

    Ospreys 10-26 Munster

    Munster are given a penalty for offside and former Dragons fly-half JJ Hanrahan kicks to the corner.

    Lee Barron scents another try but the drive is stopped so the ball is spread out and eventually intercepted.

    Ospreys are in their 22 and try to play but Dan Edwards is carried over his line. That's the final act.

  4. Ospreys 10-26 Munster

    Ian Gough
    Former Wales international on BBC Radio Wales

    The Ospreys are static, all of a sudden Munster are quick off the line and putting the Ospreys under so much pressure.

  5. Ospreys 10-26 Munster

    Spirited effort by Ospreys from 26-3 down but they will endure a pointless evening in Bridgend.

    Centre Alex Nankivell deservedly named as man of the match for an impressive performance on both sides of the ball for Munster.

  6. Ospreys 10-26 Munster

    Line break by centre Keiran Williams - the replacement has really added some dynamism behind for Ospreys - and Kieran Hardy is into the 22.

    Superb work by Munster captain Jack O'Donoghue, who makes the tackle and then snaffles the ball for ANOTHER turnover.

    Impressive defence by the Irish province this evening.

  7. Ospreys 10-26 Munster

    Munster kick a scrum penalty to the corner and several backs join the forwards to heave towards the line but Ospreys scrum-half Kieran Hardy does a brilliant job to get underneath Lee Barron.

    Held up and it'll be a goalline drop-out for Ospreys, but the clock is not their friend.

  8. Ospreys 10-26 Munster

    Ian Gough
    Former Wales international on BBC Radio Wales

    The Ospreys are really struggling to make any gains through this Munster defence at the moment.

  9. Ospreys 10-26 Munster

    Munster centre Alex Nankivell is penalised for no clear release but there is then a neck roll on him by Rhys Davies, which trumps the initial offence.

    Frustration for Ospreys as they are booted back to halfway.

  10. Ospreys 10-26 Munster

    Munster are back to 15 men but are glad that it was a penalty only for a deliberate knock-on by centre Tom Farrell.

    Crowd aren't happy but looks a good call by the officials.

  11. Ospreys 10-26 Munster

    Munster haven't been half as good in this half as they were in the first.

    Another error gives Ospreys a scrum on halfway and the chance to strike one more time before Munster are restored to 15 men.

    Can the hosts work towards at least getting a consolation bonus?

  12. Ospreys 10-26 Munster

    Ian Gough
    Former Wales international on BBC Radio Wales

    Munster are defending very well now they're down a man. The Ospreys really need to move the ball and put the pressure on.

  13. Ospreys 10-26 Munster

    Suddenly there's life in the Ospreys, too late?

    A huge scrum by a fresh front row wins a penalty from just outside their own 22. The ball is kicked to Munster's half and they need to keep the pressure on if they are to get anything from this game.

  14. Ospreys 10-26 Munster

    Ian Gough
    Former Wales international on BBC Radio Wales

    Munster made the Ospreys work so hard for that try compared to how fast Munster have been scoring.

  15. try

    Try: Ospreys 10-26 Munster

    Morris try, Edwards con

    Another penalty against Munster for offside - Jack O’Donoghue will eventually be sent to the sin bin - and Ospreys keep going.

    Max Nagy goes close, as does Kieran Hardy and then number eight Morgan Morris sneaks over.

    Dan Edwards converts and cuts the gap to a still considerable 16 points, but Munster are down to 14 men for 10 minutes.

  16. Ospreys 3-26 Munster

    Ospreys take a quick tap and go direct through Dewi Lake and James Ratti.

    Another penalty means that Munster get their final warning.

  17. Ospreys 3-26 Munster

    Ian Gough
    Former Wales international on BBC Radio Wales

    That was a walk in. The Ospreys were all over the place, as soon as they conceded that break they were never going to get back.

  18. Ospreys 3-26 Munster

    Ospreys kick a penalty to the corner - an easy decision with this scoreline - and put the pressure on with penalty advantage.

    The forwards move to within inches before a knock-on. Ospreys will have another crack.

  19. try

    Try: Ospreys 3-26 Munster

    Haley try, Crowley con

    Mike Haley try for MunsterRex Features

    Mike Haley goes over for Munster's bonus point and the forwards and backs played their part.

    A line-out drive eventually stops in the 22, centre Alex Nankivell goes close and, after Ospreys almost win a turnover, the ball is spread to the left for the full-back to go over.

    Jack Crowley adds the simple conversion.

  20. Ospreys 3-19 Munster

    Ian Gough
    Former Wales international on BBC Radio Wales

    Munster have been very comfortable in defence, the Ospreys are struggling to find the gaps and ask the right questions of Munster's defence.
