The Ospreys battled well in the opening 40 minutes this evening. Have fallen off abit during the second half, but they don’t have the resources that Glasgow have. #URC #OSPvGLA

Report from the Brewery Field as the Ospreys play out a poor second half as Glasgow Warriors run in six tries in a dominant victory. #URC #OSPvGLA opensideblog.wordpress.com/2025/10/18/osp…
