Irish province will now meet the winners of Glasgow and Stormers in the semi-finals
Munster will now meet the winners of Glasgow and Stormers, who play in Scotstoun on Saturday in the URC semifinals.
Most would have agreed with Morgan and the bookies, who had Munster 15-point favourites. Seeking their 10th URC win in succession, enough to call it a bona fide winning streak, Munster opened with a pyrotechnic start with team favourite Simon Zebo cheering up the 14,072 crowd within two minutes of the match starting.
But Ospreys were not about to allow the match to become a procession and minutes later inside centre Keiran Williams snatched at a bouncing ball and delivered to Giles. This time the left wing became provider and raced across the Munster line, outhalf Owen Williams converting for Ospreys to draw level 7-7.
Crowley again converted for 14-7 before Shane Daly almost finished off a try of the season after a cross field kick from the outhalf. Controlling the falling ball expertly with his foot, Daly chased up the left only for the Ospreys cover to get to it first. But Crowley finished off the scoring in the half with a penalty on 27 minutes and 17-7.
For 10 minutes Munster battered at Ospreys under their posts and might have felt a little light on points when they came away with nothing tangible. But they were playing in the right areas of the pitch and really Ospreys had not fired a shot since they scored the try early in the first half.
