Connacht Rugby secured a hard-fought 21-14 victory over Ospreys at Dexcom Stadium. Shamus Hurley-Langton was instrumental for Connacht, scoring two tries, one in the opening minutes and another shortly after halftime. Sean Naughton converted both of his tries, adding a crucial conversion for a third try from Matthew Devine late in the match. Ospreys responded with a try from Daniel Kasende and another from Luke Morgan, both converted by Dan Edwards. Connacht lost Darragh Murray to a yellow card early in the second half but managed to maintain their lead despite the pressure. Ospreys' Jac Morgan also received a yellow card late in the game, hampering their comeback efforts. Ultimately, Connacht's resilience and strong performance in key moments secured them the win, reversing their recent losses to Ospreys.
