Just quickly knocked this thread out in case anyone else is watching. Big game for both sides to establish their places in the top four of the Pro-12
COME ON OSPREYS!!!

Good start for Munster - they win the first untidy scrum.

As I expected - Ospreys giving away penalties which ROG will kick effortlessly.
3-0 at 4 minutes.

Like Nigel Owens. He's like a disappointed geography teacher with an unruly class of 30.

that's a very accurate description!
O's starting to make a nuisance of themselves. Good attacking position for them now. They've got a penalty so Morgs will kick for goal.

yay! Morgs equalizes.

Hopefully we can stay within LBP if not win this.

Can someone tell me a bit about Matthew Morgan? Don't know much about him.
And I like to learn.

George - Morgs is only a bab of a player - he's 21. He's come up through the ranks as fly-half for Bridgend and Swansea and he played for Wales U20s as well. Not a bad kicker at all when it comes to goal kicking. Needs to work on his territorial kicking, but that'll come.

oof looks like Duncan Jones hit his head with someone's body. He's up and about, but I'm not sure what his vision will be like!
Nigey telling off Alywyn. O's will really need to watch their discipline.

Can be a devisataitng broken field runner. Really quick and elusive, but unfortunately I think he's 10 stone so isn't up to much physically. Gives it a go mind, but can end up being a bit of a doormat. Kicking can be erratic. Exciting to watch due to his attributes and weaknesses, if that makes sense?!

Alywyn can't be good at geography then!
Morgs going for goal again.
3-6 at 24 minutes....and Morgs' 153rd league point.

Good phase of play by Munster takes them into the 22...and they fluff it with a forward pass. Pheew!

Wow that's nuts! An Irish Munsterman siarad y Gymraeg! Aled Walters has an Irish accent now, it's quite strange to hear.
Great break from Russell thanks to JT and Fotuali'i. Shame he couldn't go all the way.

Morgs is holding back for a possible DG attempt. He does like to try those from time to time. sadly, they've lost the ball now and Howlett gets it away.

Thank gawd for that! Habberfield beats Hurley to the ball over the 22 and spares us a try.

Munster on the attack again. Hope the O's can continue with their excellent defence...oops another forward pass from Munster.
Duncan Jones not looking good...wonder if he should come off.

ROG's grubbers have been good. Amazing the difference when he kicks them forward instead of sideways.
Kilcoyne is a barrell on legs. He loves a bit of carry!

Great scrum from O's again, followed by a superb clearance kick, chase and catch by Habberfield. Shame he's bundled into touch.
ooh dear ROG. Bum kick!

Habberfield is quick would be nice to see him play scrum half soon. Nigel is going to bin somebody for "chat". He seem s to be telling both sides now.

Good lineout from Munster allows their 7 to run off...they're into the O's 22 again...they'll probably blydi score before HT. If O's can hold them off, they'll be chuffed.

Munster need to learn how to pass inside as well as outside.
Not one switch or wrap. Not a single support line run from the inside.
This side completely lacks invention.
The only plan is to wear teams down with side to side phase play or run over them with their limited number of ball carriers.
Need to upskill themselves big time

Kilcoyne is going to be an absolute beast, it already is, but the more time he gets the better he becomes.

I thought there was a knock on by Baldwin there? I wasn't looking but that's what the commentator said. At least you can't accuse Nigel of being one eyed.

Good kick from Morgs. Come on O's...take advantage. Munster player taking out a jumped in the line out, but Nigel just gives a penalty not a yellow.
