Sean O’Brien at the double as Munster win at Ospreys

Munster wing Sean O’Brien scored two tries to put a huge dent in Ospreys’ hopes of an end-of-season play-off spot with a 27-17 win.

Errors from the hosts gifted Munster a healthy early lead and the home side never looked like clawing back that deficit.

Shane Daly and RG Snyman were also on the try-scoring sheet for the Irish side with Joey Carbery converting two and adding a penalty.

Keelan Giles, Sam Parry and Alex Cuthbert scored tries for Ospreys, one of which Owen Williams converted.

It took only three minutes for the reigning champions to take the lead when full-back Mike Haley burst into the line allowing Daly to out-flank the cover defence and score.

Worse was soon to follow for Ospreys when a pass from Owen Williams was intercepted by O’Brien who handed off Giles on a 55-metre run to the line.

Full-Time | Ospreys 17 - 27 Munster

Tries from Shane Daly, Seán O'Brien (x2) and RG Snyman and seven points from the boot of Joey Carbery secure a vital bonus-point win on the road
