Leinster wing Andy Conway scored the first try but was injured later

Ospreys inched ahead of Leinster to take fifth in the Magners League table with a hard-fought win in Swansea.

The Irish visitors led 10-9 at half-time thanks to a try from wing Andrew Conway, who was later carried off with a worrying neck injury.

Dan Biggar's fourth penalty edged Ospreys in front but Isa Nacewa restored Leinster's lead with a try.

But a penalty try from a scrum gave Ospreys the win while Leinster had Ian Madigan and Ed O'Donoghue sin-binned.
