Munster 23 - 3 Ospreys, Limerick

Munster came up with a three try performance as they went on to defeat Ospreys by 23-3 in the semi final of Pro 12 at Limerick to set up a clash in the finals with Scarlets next weekend.

Wales international Rhys Webb was a late withdrawal before the game for Ospreys due to a groin injury.

Danny Biggar scored a seventh minute penalty to begin the proceedings for Ospreys but that remained the only points for the visitors in the game. Munster's first points in the game came in the 25th minute when Francis Saili crossed over to make it 5-3.

Even though, fly-half Tyler Bleyendaal missed out on the conversion, he scored a penalty at the stroke of half time to increase Munster's lead to five points.

After the third quarter went without a point, Simon Zebo touched down in the 60th minute while Bleyendaal kicked a conversion and a penalty in a span of five minutes to increase the gap to 15 points.

Any hopes of a fightback from Ospreys were put to rest after Andrew Conway scored the third and final try in the game in the 74th minute to complete a 20 point victory for Munster.
