Munster got back to winning ways in torrential conditions in Cork on Saturday evening.After shipping 75 points in two games, Rowntree's men responded well by keeping the Ospreys scoreless, ahead of their trip to Leinster next weekend.Munster’s injury list is growing, but their quality was on show at Virgin Media Park during challenging weather conditions.It is often thought that poor conditions can bring the level of play down and that it’s a leveller for teams of varying qualities.

However, that is not the case.When the game becomes more difficult, it is the team with rock solid basics and fundamental skill levels that will come to the fore.

The leaders of the team will also come up with big moments, and a slice of luck will come into it too.Shay McCarthy opened the scoring for Munster within 10 seconds of the kick off.

From his perspective, there was a slice of luck with Owen Watkin fumbling possession. It was a very basic error from the Welsh international, despite the wind carrying Jack Crowley’s kick.How about that for a start?!
