Montpellier Herault Rugby go top Of Pool B with a nine try 59-15 win over Ospreys in the EPCR Challenge Cup.
A commanding first-half lead was evidently not sufficient for Montpellier, who returned after the break keen to extend their advantage.
Their wishes were duly granted after Lyam Akrab scored two minutes in before Mael Moisten added to the hosts’ tally on 51 minutes.
Three more back-line breaches came in the following 15 minutes to put the game to bed.
Ospreys did claim two sets of five-point consolations when Evradi Boshoff and Keelan Giles touched down, but it was far from enough to close the significant gap between the two.
Montpellier go top of Pool 2 thanks to the bonus point win while Ospreys move down to second.
