MUNSTER BOUNCED BACK from last weekend’s embarrassing defeat to Zebre in impressive fashion, earning a bonus-point victory over the Ospreys in biblical conditions at Virgin Media Park.
Graham Rowntree’s side produced an aggressive, polished display despite the torrential rain in Cork to right their course towards Croke Park next Saturday.
The victory may have taken a toll ahead of that meeting with Leinster, however, as Munster lost key trio Oli Jager, Peter O’Mahony and Mike Haley to injury in the process of dominating tonight’s visitors.
First-half tries by Shay McCarthy, Tom Farrell, Calvin Nash, and an additional score into the wind by Jack O’Donoghue just after the hour mark, were more than enough for the southern province to take maximum points from a game of which they had complete control for 80 minutes.

Horrible conditions, tough work but executed well. Growing injury list a big concern. Onwards and upwards I guess. Mumhain Abu!
fair play to the supporters that braved those horrendous conditions.
Fastest URC try ever. Up the Cookies
Its hard to care when the biggest talking point is the rain .
@Robert Doogan: maybe you’d be better off watching one of the soaps next time. If your not interested in what happens during the game then don’t bother watching at all.
Anyone feeling any sympathy for the poor old Welsh teams ??? No, me neither…….
have your say
