Munster returned to winning ways at a rain-lashed Virgin Media Park by beating Ospreys 23-0 in a repeat of last season's BKT United Rugby Championship quarter-finals.
Shay McCarthy matched Dougie Fife’s fastest try in URC history after just 10 seconds as Munster built an 18-0 half-time lead.
Tom Farrell and Calvin Nash also claimed first-half tries, but Munster did have some setbacks with Oli Jager and Ireland captain Peter O’Mahony both picking up injuries.
Graham Rowntree’s side sealed their bonus point through Waterford's Jack O’Donoghue in the 64th minute before thoughts turned to next week’s Croke Park clash with Leinster.
