Munster 15-18 Neath Swansea Ospreys:
Samoan winger Elvis Seveali’i grabbed a brace of tries over four second half
minutes to condemn Munster to their first home loss in seven games.
Munster’s Christian Cullen did not set Musgrave alight in his debut but just
coming back from injury he adjusted well and did show signs of flair. Instead
Wellington product Seveali’i stole the show for the Ospreys. Munster’s tries
came on either side of the break from Shawn Payne and scrum half Eoin Reddan.

under real pressure. But stand-in skipper Nathan Hines ensured a home win with
a late try.
