Connacht come from behind to claim big win over Ospreys

Jack Carty's second-half drop-goal proved just enough for Connacht to edge out the Ospreys in an entertaining clash in Swansea.

Both teams scored three each but Ospreys will reflect on surrendering an early 12-0 lead as they were left with just one win from their opening seven United Rugby Championship fixtures.

Connacht's tries came from Alex Wootton, Caolin Blade and John Porch, with Carty converting two to go along with his ultimately crucial drop-goal.

Huw Sutton, Reuben Morgan-Williams and Sam Parry crossed for Ospreys, Jack Walsh adding two conversions.

Jarrad Butler led out Connacht on his 100th appearance but his side soon fell behind to a third-minute try.

A chip ahead from Morgan-Williams bounced favourably for Ospreys as Luke Morgan collected before Sutton capitalised by forcing his way over.

Connacht have conceded two early tries against the Ospreys, Huw Sutton with the home side's opening score. #RTERugby #URC #OSPvCON
