Ospreys move back to the helm

The Ospreys moved back to the top of the RaboDirect PRO12 table after Matthew Morgan inspired them to their seventh victory of the season.

Morgan scored all of his side’s first-half points at the Sportsground as the Welsh Region extended their winning run in Galway.

The hosts took the lead on a blustery night on the West coast of Ireland, fly-half Miah Nikora kicking his side ahead with a penalty.

Morgan then levelled things up with his first penalty as the Ospreys came away with points after their first venture in the Connacht twenty-two.

That lifted the visiting Welsh region and they were next to score as well.  Scrum-half Rhys Webb spotted a mismatch and darted between two Connacht forwards to tee Morgan up for his converted score under the posts.

Connacht through Nikora responded straight from the re-start to bring the scores to within four points at the break.

It took twenty second-half minutes for either side to add to their tally and it was prop Duncan Jones’ break up-field which set up the platform for replacement centre Parker to score.
