Ospreys 13 Munster 32: Jeremy Loughman the star man as van Graan's men seal last-gasp bonus point win over Ospreys

Jeremy Loghman was awesome while Munster began the Champions Cup with a crucial bonus point win away to Ospreys.

Ex-Leinster man Jeremy Loughman scored the only try in the first half at Liberty Stadium.

Keith Earls and Andrew Conway added a couple of tries after the break and James Cronin scored the bonus point effort.

Munster were 13-6 in front at half-time but it could have been more after a brilliant opening half from the visitors.

Tyler Bleyendaal was inspirational but it was Ospreys out-half Luke Price who scored first, from a eighth minute penalty after Munster strayed offside.

But Munster stepped it up a notch at the end of the first half with a couple of relentless drives towards the Ospreys line. The latter saw Loughman emerge at the end of the move to touch down a deserved try in the 34th minute.

Munster’s second try came from a lineout when Tommy O’Donnell got through down the blindside.

Loughman almost scored his second try but Earls scored when the ball was recycled.

That score came in the 50th minute and two minutes later Conway raced clear down the right wing after Loughman was involved in the build-up again.
