Still a liability even if he did score a try-- the back three at Biarritz tackle like muffins.
And still the Ospreys lost !! No one at Tigers will shed a tear . Ha Ha

Funny that two QF games in a row finish 29-28, with the away team's kicker missing a vital drop goal at the end!

Congratulations to Biarritz.

Did the Ospreys really lose by 1 point? I am really gutted - not.

Calls for Yachvilli offside at that final ruck before his knock on, but replays show the ball was well out of the ruck. Deliberate knock on is debatable though.

Real drama. Rugby game of the highest quality.

Too many mistakes for it to be 'highest quality'.
No doubting that it was terrifically exciting and thoroughly enjoyable.

That was a cracking game from start to finish, entertaining and non-stop. No wonder the players looked out on their feet at the end.

Tough call at the end, personally I don't think it was a knock down, you win some you lose some, and the ball was well out of that last ruck for what seemed an age. it wasn't the first time the ref gave something like that as a knock on, rather than a knock down, so at least he was consistent IMHO. If only they hadn't butchered so many chances, then there wouldn't need to be cries of controversy.

The Ospreys fans can be justifiably proud of their team today, who gave a hard working entertaining performance, a lot of effort out there today, but just fell short.

Scott Quinnell's analysis was that no offence, offside or knock down. In his opinion of course.
Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.

Quinnell's analysis looked correct.

Ospreys were hugely creative, but a lack of precision did for them. And a dodgy set piece.

Enjoyable and exciting enough game. Wonder if the ospreys will hire tigers highly expensive and specialised team of sports lawyers to try to get the decision overturned and the game replayed (because of the slap forward)?


Nope what's this? they seem to be taking the defeat like good rugby men-saving their money and spendIng it on better players? This'll never do!!
