Despite starting with 11 Wales internationals, the Ospreys never managed to click. While they held the upper hand in the scrums, with Nicky Smith to the fore, they were inaccurate in other areas and gave away too many penalties. Toby Booth and his players may bemoan the number of calls that went against them but they found it hard to take the ball through phases, passed badly at times and were shy on creativity beyond their half-backs. Smith scored a try and so did the hard-working Morgan Morris, but Leicester replied with a touchdown from Harry Potter and a brilliant score from Anthony Watson which must rank as one of the finest solo tries seen at the stadium.
32 minsMark OrdersWebb turnoverIt's an important turnovers for the Ospreys from an unlikely source, with Rhys Webb, a man not noted for his breakdown skills, winning a turnover penalty. Home joy doesn't last long, though, with Webb then giving away a penalty. Swings and roundabouts. It's beyond scrappy in Swansea. 29 minsMark OrdersOspreys concede a penalty The Ospreys look for a maul penalty but Alex Cuthbert concedes a penalty, allowing Leicester a toehold in the home 22. They drive forward strongly. 24 minsMark OrdersScrum penalty number three to Ospreys The Ospreys get themselves out of trouble with a powerful scrum that drives Leicester back. That's the third penalty so far for the Welsh team in that area. But they mess up the next lineout and concede a penalty at the following one.
com Stadium. Toby Booth will be disappointed. Leicester had rested a number of players but the Ospreys couldn't get on top of them despite holding sway in the scrums with Smith forcing a number of penalties.

Ospreys 17-23 Leicester (Atkinson)Ospreys incur the referee's displeasure again.
He may have started on the wrong foot with a questionable decision going against him but the Wales international soon warmed to his task, forcing a string of penalties out of Tigers loosehead Joe Heyes.

The Ospreys made their numerical advantage count with a series of strong drives from their heavy brigade up front.
The visitors turned the game around after trailing 10-6 at the break.

Morgan Morris and Nicky Smith, both of whom played well, scored the home tries. Leicester replied through Harry Potter and, brilliantly, through Anthony Watson, who scored one of the finest solo tries seen at the Swansea.

Leicester upped their game significantly in the second half, with their pack imposing themselves and back-rower George Martin and lock Ollie Chessum increasingly catching the eye.
