By that stage, McPhillips had been dismissed for a straight arm challenge.The Ospreys dominated for a 10-minute spell, landing a penalty from Connor and a neatly finished try by Phillips.But Matthews’ second effort gave Connacht enough cushion to see out the win.Connacht: Tries – Treviranus, Matthews (2); Cons – Dunne (3); Pens – DunneOspreys: Tries: K Phillips, Roberts; Cons – Connor, Biggar;
