    It's been a huge effort from the Ospreys tonight, they grew into the first half excellently.

    Munster just tightened their grip on the second half and they didn't allow the Ospreys to play. They're a team who know how to get the job done and that's what they've done tonight.

    The ref has had a decent game at times, but these marginal calls have all gone against the Ospreys.

    The decisions have really put the Ospreys in the quicksand, especially in the second-half.

    The Ospreys seem a little demoralised, it almost seems that Munster have grown two feet taller in the last five minutes.

    The Ospreys really need to regain some possession and try and get onto the front foot.

    Great defence from the Ospreys there, but they've got to get out of this area and start putting pressure on Munster.

    You can't ask any more from the Ospreys defence, but sooner or later they're going to crack.

    I think a few decisions have gone against the Ospreys here, Munster has definitely had the better of the calls.

    The Ospreys just need to remain compact here, the defence is about to be put to the test.
