The Ospreys held out for a historic gutsy Magners League win against Munster at Thomond Park with fly-half Dan Biggar kicking all their points.
Biggar's Munster rival Ronan O'Gara scored a try and kicked two penalties.
But the Welsh side threw off their tag of nearly men with a win that boosts their chances of a home tie in the inaugural play-offs.
The Ospreys win also gave Cardiff Blues a boost in their bid for a place in the top-four play-off places
