[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 299816"] Great game of rugby. It was wrong of me to think leicester would keep it tight all game, they came out and played some good stuff. Ospreys defense was magnificent (as it was against Clermont aswell, but for the dropped ball and intercept), especially Bishop. Forwards were good, although Hibbard was giving away too many stupid penalties, and Alun-Wyn was making some mistakes again. Adam Jones is getting back to fitness slowly, but looked out of it by the 65minute mark, scrummages his ass off though. That scrum after Castro came on was a thing of beaty, especially after it happening to us so often in the first fixture in Welford. Januarie was sh*t imo, can't wait till Phillips is back. At least then Biggar can get some good service, instead of balls at his feet and behind him. Some of Januaries kicking was also horrendous! Very happy with the rest of the backline, Byrne solid, if not spectacular, Biggar missed a few kickable shots in the second half, but was good otherwise. Hook had his best game for a long, long time, and probably showed Gatland that he is there or therabouts for a centre spot in the 6nations (as did Bishop). Bowe was Bowe = amazing, and Shane was ok on return (moment of madness towards the end though, with that suicide pass to Bowe.) So, through to the quarters. However, an away q/f awaits. Will be tough, but this game showed that they've got the physicality to go along with the backs this season. Odds are against them of course, but the Ospreys play better as underdogs anyway. [/QUOTE]
