Chance for Keatley to double his sides lead but he pushes this kick across the face of the posts and wide on the right. A difficult kick admittedly. 3-0 Munster.

This time the high ball causing troubles for the Ospreys back 3 but Tebaldi is able to cover and prevent Ronan O'Mahony from scoring.

Tito Tebaldi goes to the air for the Ospreys with what seems to be a recurring theme. Proving relatively successful so far as Munster struggle to deal with a few early kicks.

Ben John was nearly put in space but Murphy recovers and Munster win back the ball.

Casey Laulala and Johne Murphy collide going for a high ball and it's lost forward. Decent attacking position for Ospreys just outside the 22.

PENALTY MUNSTER. No mistake from Keatley and it's 3-0 Munster.

Early opportunity for Ian Keatley to open his sides account, penalty just outside the 22, left of the posts.

Impressive start from Munster with Damien Varley making a huge break bringing the play inside the Ospreys 22.

And we're underway at a wet, damp Thomond Park.

Good evening and welcome to all of you joining us for this RaboDirect Pro 12 clash from Thomond Park as hosts Munster take on visiting Ospreys. The two sides squaring up to each other tonight are the two form teams in the competition and find themselves both locked on 22 points at the top of the standings after 6 rounds of action.Munster haven't beaten the Ospreys since the 2011 semi-final of this competition and will hope to set that right tonight. They have made 8 changes however since last weekends victory so will have to contend with a possible lack of match practice with this same 15. The Ospreys travel to Limerick without some of their star names such as out-half Dan Biggar so this could be Munster's chance to end their bad run against the Welsh side. Either way, both sides would love to take a top of the table win into the 2 week gap so it's sure to be a keenly contested battle.
