    Ospreys 3-19 Munster

    Ospreys tight-head Rhys Henry penalised at a scrum and Munster kick to the 22.

    Strange move off that line-out by the visitors. They play with quick ball off the top and then Jack Crowley opts for a cross-kick that went straight out.

    Chance wasted to secure the bonus.

    Ospreys 3-19 Munster

    Dan Edwards gets the game back under way and Ospreys need something of a miracle in Bridgend.

    That last try was a hammer blow, to concede that right before half-time can be so bad for the morale of the team.

    Ospreys 3-19 Munster

    Complete domination from Munster. Very, very impressive.

    Ospreys started well but the Irish province played the conditions perfectly and need one more try to get their bonus.

    It's looking like they are set to go second in the table behind Stormers.

    Scrum-half Paddy Patterson snipes and gets to within a yard of the line.

    Ospreys 3-12 Munster

    Munster put the pressure on again after an impressive turnover - they have won eight so far - and then kick towards the 22.

    Dan Edwards covers, gathers but then boots the ball straight out.

    Munster will have a final attack before the break as they look to stretch their lead.

    That felt inevitable, Munster were putting a lot of pressure on. They were edging closer to the try line and you knew the Ospreys were going to have a hard time stopping them.

    Lee Barron hits his jumper, gets on the ball and then, after a couple of backs join in, dives over the line for Munster's second.

    Jack Crowley's conversion is good, although it looked close!

    This has been a superb first half by Munster against the wind.

    Ospreys 3-5 Munster

    Munster put the pressure on Ospreys' scrum and win a penalty that Jack Crowley kicks into the 22.

    Hooker Lee Barron hits his man with his first throw and the drive comes on.

    Ospreys lock Ryan Smith concedes a penalty for changing his bind and Munster go back to the corner.

    Good cover defence from Munster, but that was an awful clearance kick there.

    Ospreys 3-5 Munster

    Close for Ospreys!

    Awful kick by Mike Haley is charged down by Evardi Boshoff but Shane Daly saves the day for Munster.

    The wing gets back to hack over his line to concede a five-metre scrum.

    Daly scored five points at one end and saved five at the other.

    Frustration for Ospreys after Morris bumps into the ref carrying from the scrum and Munster then turn the ball over to clear to the 22.

    Apart from the yellow card the Ospreys' discipline has been good so far, they've defended well and looked tidy with the ball.

    Max Nagy is back and it's 15 versus 15 again but Munster look the more likely with ball in hand.

    Ospreys started well but didn't really make it count.

    Ospreys 3-5 Munster

    Superb rugby by Munster after taking a quick tap from a penalty for offside after a horrendous Reuben Morgan-Williams box kick.

    Munster work to the 22 and it looks like Jack O’Donoghue is going over but a great spot by the ref to see a slight knock-on in the build-up by scrum-half Paddy Patterson.

    Ospreys 3-5 Munster

    Ospreys do a number on Munster at a scrum and Dan Edwards calls for his tee.

    The Wales fly-half shanks his effort in these tough conditions - both in terms of the wind and the standing foot on a heavy surface.

    That did take some time off the sin bin but Ospreys want to be on the front foot while they have the breeze at their backs.

    I don't know how they managed to sneak that in. Why weren't the defence covering the blindside? That's basic defence.

    Munster kick to the corner.

    Ospreys defend with a strong initial drive but are penalised for side entry as the visitors get things going.

    Munster opt for another go.

    The forwards go close and then the ball is passed to Shane Daly to go over down the left. That's his first try in a year.

    Really good work by number eight Gavin Coombes to pop the ball to his winger.

    The conversion is wild and wide.

    It was just a bit of a daft one. The Ospreys seemed in control before that, he didn't need to do that and it's cost the Ospreys.
