Munster keep the Ospreys grounded as Warriors demolish Connacht
By Rob Lancaster
Munster remain on top in Conference A after they recorded a hard-fought win away at the Ospreys in Friday's Pro14 action.
Michael Haley's 69th-minute try helped Munster prevail 19-13 at the Liberty Stadium, with the result putting a dent in their opponents' play-off hopes.
The Ospreys looked set to go in ahead at the break until Sam Cross was yellow carded for denying a scoring opportunity, with Munster awarded a penalty try to take a 14-10 lead at half-time.
Luke Price kicked a penalty to close the gap but Haley's score left the hosts having to settle for a losing bonus point, meaning they remain fourth in the table.
Glasgow Warriors crushed Connacht in a battle between second and third respectively in the same group, Grant Stewart and Robbie Nairn both grabbing a brace of tries for the Scottish side.
George Horne and Tim Swinson also touched down at Scotstoun as the Warriors ran out convincing 43-17 winners, with the bonus point helping them close the gap on leaders Munster.
In Conference B, leaders Leinster extended their comfortable cushion at the summit courtesy of a 59-19 result against Southern Kings.
Ulrich Beyers crossed for the Kings to cut the gap to 24-19 but Leinster added a further 35 points without reply, running in nine tries in total to give the final score a lopsided look.

Guzzy would have been more suitable and prob coached a system a lot closer to Jones than El Abd is doing Ed.
Go to commentsJohn, McKenzie was 10 years ago and he only lasted 15 months until the disgustingly unfair affair that brought him down. I thought that if he didn't get another gig over Eddie V2 then he was done. I read that he had been approached but declined to put his name in the ring.
There are no potential Wallaby coaches outside of McKellar unless you have some inside info?
