Ospreys were handed another harsh lesson in what it takes to be a top team in Europe as they failed to overcome a misfiring Munster, the Western Mail's Andy Howell reports.
"Scott Johnson’s team did keep their hopes of reaching the quarter-finals of the Heineken Cup for a fourth consecutive year by picking up a valuable losing bonus point during a bruising battle. But the truth is the Welsh flagship region were not good enough to win... again.
"Their back play was pitiful with their midfield triangle of outside-half Dan Biggar, James Hook and Andrew Bishop offering next to nothing in offence, while neither centre defended particularly well either.
"Without the individual brilliance of injured superstar Shane Williams, the limitations and lack of structure in the Ospreys’ three-quarters line, which has been an on-going theme for a number of years, was again evident."
