It has been a superb start to the season for the Warriors, who made it nine from nine with a 47-6 rout away to an Ospreys side that are bottom of the pool.
The visitors ran in seven tries, with George Horne scoring twice and Adam Hastings, Scott Cummings, George Turner, Brandon Thomson and Leonardo Sarto also dotting down.
Munster remain second in Conference A, after running out comfortable 36-19 winners at lowly Zebre – Alex Wootton scoring twice in the second half.

South African franchise Southern Kings appeared to be heading for a shock victory against Conference B leaders Scarlets as tries from Michael Makase, Yaw Penxe and Martin du Toit had the hosts 23-10 ahead just after half-time.
Ioan Nicholas and Werner Kruger’s converted tries put the visitors ahead and, although Harlon Klaasen’s score had the Kings briefly back in front, Daniel Jones completed a dramatic 34-30 win for Scarlets with nine minutes remaining.
