Dave Kilcoyne sent a timely reminder to Ireland coach Joe Schmidt with a terrific two-try performance in Munsters 33-0 PRO12 bonus-point win over the Ospreys in Cork.The loosehead prop and man of the match pressed his international claims as Munster thrilled the 8,008 home crowd by ending the Ospreys four-match winning run and moving themselves temporarily to the top of the PRO12 table.Early tries from Kilcoyne and Darren Sweetnam set Rassie Erasmus men on their way to a 14-0 interval lead, with the hosts winning the kicking battle and the contact area.Ronan OMahony (53) and Kilcoyne (68) crossed to secure the provinces third try-scoring bonus point of the campaign, before Robin Copelands 77th-minute score added some late gloss.Winger Sweetnam threatened in the air and with the boot in the opening exchanges at Irish Independent Park, with the Ospreys struggling to gain a foothold as their line-out completely malfunctioned.The visitors lost four first-half line-outs on Sam Parrys throw, two of them preceding Munsters tries.Peter OMahony gave serious momentum to a drive in the 22 and after the ball was moved wide to the right, prop Kilcoyne muscled over from a couple of metres out.Tyler Bleyendaal converted the seventh-minute try with a sweet strike and fared even better with a touchline effort, topping up Sweetnams 14th-minute try in the right corner from a flat Duncan Williams pass.Showing two enforced changes from last weeks derby win over the Dragons, the Ospreys lacked urgency and fly-half Josh Matavesi was poor with his tactical kicking.A Darren OShea ruck offence ruined a promising Kilcoyne-inspired attack for Munster, while the Ospreys -- propelled forward by Tom Habberfields quick tap -- blew their best chance before half-time when Jack ODonoghue turned them over close to the Munster posts.A clash of heads ended Jaco Tautes night prematurely and saw Dan Evans have a spell off the pitch.Although the Ospreys improved on the restart, Matavesis loose pass in his own 22 was dribbled forward and touched down by winger OMahony for an unconverted try.The Ospreys bench added some zip to their play, replacement scrum half Brendon Leonard having a try ruled out for offside on the hour mark. Sweetnam also had to react smartly to bundle Leonard into touch on a breakaway.However, normal service was resumed when Kilcoyne bulldozed over from close range having made two ground-gaining carries before that.Bleyendaal converted and also added the extras to Copelands pick-up from a ruck, the Munster scrum providing the platform with new Kiwi hooker Rhys Marshall involved off the bench.

Goals from Leigh Griffiths and Kris Commons secured a 2-0 victory for the Hoops in the last-four of the Scottish League Cup on February 1 2015.Celtic missed several decent chances to add to their tally on that day and although Rangers improved after the break, they did not look like scoring. Murdo MacLeod says Rangers will see their Scottish Cup semi-final clash with Celtic as a great opportunity to win the competition Every year youre always looking for an Old Firm game - not just in Scotland, down south in England theyve got a lot of people watching it down there and all around the world, everybodys wanting to see an Old Firm game, MacLeod told Sky Sports News HQ after the cup draw was made.I think the last time was a bit of a mismatch but this time itll be the real McCoy back again.Im really looking forward to it. Last year when Celtic played Rangers, Rangers werent ready for that game and Celtic were on top of their game and top of the table and Rangers were struggling a wee bit. But I think after the weekend - Rangers played really well against Dundee - I think a llot of Rangers fans think they can go and match anything that Celtic can offer right now.ddddddddddddI think Rangers have been building over the last two or three seasons and now they have a settled side, a young side.They move the ball quickly but I think theyll not be too far away from Celtic this time.I think Celtic have maybe lowered their standards slightly over the past four or five weeks and theyve dropped a lot of points. The Old Firm will meet at Hampden after being drawn against each other in the semi-final of the Scottish Cup Now Rangers will be looking to this game as a great opportunity to go and win the Scottish Cup.Current Hoops player Griffiths is also looking forward to the tie and he took to Twitter in the wake of the draw.What a draw...lets hope its the same result as last time.
