One of the best Ospreys performances ever (probably the Magners final v Leinster a couple of years ago being the other standout). The Ospreys pack were immense, Hibbard, Ryan Jones and Alun-Wyn Jones smashed everything that moved, and Tipuric was head and shoulders above everyone else at the breakdown. The backs simply finished most of the chances they had (although they should have scored another couple of try's at least).
Standout players for me were James, Hibbard, Alun-Wyn, Ryan Jones, Tipuric, Biggar, Beck, Dirksen and Fussell. I know Beck made a few errors, but I still thought he looked like a class act. Hopefully he won't be caught ball watching in defence again. Biggar really does look like a player transformed, his kicking from the tee was immense as per usual. On today's performance Fussell could make the Wales squad (I'd take him as a winger though), because he took full advantage of his opportunities.
Doesn't look like the Ospreys are missing Collins, Hollah, Phillips or Hook in the slightest. It's just allowed for better, younger players to come in and take their place. Long may it continue.
Bodes well for a better run in the HEC next year.
