Munster answer call to arms with shutout against Ospreys

Munster 33, Ospreys 0: Head coach Rassie Erasmus made a declaration of intent in last night’s match programme when he insisted Munster couldn’t afford to have a rollercoaster season. 

“We want to stay up there,” he said in relation to his side’s fourth place position just three points adrift of the leading teams, Leinster, Ospreys, and Glasgow Warriors.

He could hardly have asked for a better start to this Guinness PRO12 clash at Musgrave Park when his fired-up side carried the game to Ospreys and scored two excellent tries inside 15 minutes.
