Munster showed their Champions Cup credentials by producing an excellent performance to comfortably beat the Ospreys 32-13 at the Liberty Stadium.

Tries from Jeremy Loughman, Keith Earls, Andrew Conway and James Cronin, along with 12 points from the boot of Tyler Bleyendaal was enough to get Munster over the line.

All the Ospreys could muster was a late try from Aled Davies, with Luke Price adding eight points from the tee.

Price opened the scoring with a successful penalty attempt after Munster were penalised at the scrum, but Munster began to build some pressure and very nearly scored when Bleyendaal worked an overlap, only for Mike Haley to knock the ball forward with nobody in front of him.

However, Bleyendaal kicked Munster ahead as the Ospreys were forced to make a lot of tackles. Price levelled the scores but Munster finally turned pressure into points with Loughman powering his way over from short range.

The try wasn’t initially awarded with television replays showing Conor Murray may have spilled the ball forward, but the television footage proved inconclusive and the try stood. Bleyendaal converted to give the visitors a 13-6 lead at half-time.
