Munster would have been disappointed with their first half performance as their defence, which has been almost unbreachable for most of the season, was carved open on a number of occasions as the Ospreys ran in two tries within the space of eight minutes.
Munster, like the team of old, never gave up and found themselves within touching distance towards the end of the game, something which you would not have predicted as they were 17-3 down at one stage.
Of course, a number of players stood out as the men in red made their remarkable comeback, Man of the Match Dave O'Callaghan was one but a lot of praise was also reserved for flying Cork winger, Darren Sweetnam.
The 23-year-old topped the metres made charts as he gained 65 metres with seven carries which included two clean line breaks.
One of his most important line breaks came at the end of the game which brought play into the Ospreys 22, a few phases later, the winger did excellently to draw in two defenders and pop the ball to Tyler Bleyendaal.
The move ultimately led to Kilcoyne's game winning try.
His performance didn't go unnoticed either, with Ireland legend, Brian O'Driscoll, predicting that the Munster man will receive his first cap for Ireland before the year is out.

And he wasn't the only one showing their admiration.

Even some are still bemoaning his loss to the Cork hurlers.
