[QUOTE="stormmaster1, post: 119626"] The media would probably have picked the final given the hype they churned out about Tigers. I think the biggest shock was Saints taking out Biarritz. As for the Ospreys, they beat the English champions, but failed to get the points they needed versus Stade. Disappointing for them but not really a shock, given they had one of the hardest pools. IMO Ospreys simply need to get a bit more grit, tighten the defence a little and get a big match temperament. They have a side as good as any club on paper, but this is not the first time they have lost out on big results they could/should have taken. They have lost to Tigers 3 times in 3 matches past 2 seasons, despite Tigers never really having to play convincingly well. [/QUOTE]
