MUNSTER returned to winning ways last night in the URC with a clear-cut 23-0 victory over Ospreys at Virgin Media Park, Cork.
The home outfit were 18-0 in front thanks to tries from Shay McCarthy (after just a few seconds), Tom Farrell, and Calvin Nash with Jack Crowley kicking a penalty.
In the second half, Munster got their bonus-point try courtesy of Jack O’Donoghue.
Craig Casey was selected as player-of-the-match.
Victory, however, came at a price though as Oli Jager, Peter O’Mahony, and Mike Haley all picked-up knocks, and must now be assessed ahead of a Croke Park showdown with unbeaten Leinster on Saturday next.
