Looking forward to this, hopefully the Ospreys can do the impossible and get a Bonus Point to set up a winner-takes-all encounter with Toulon.

Don't think that's an impossible, Irish haven't looked good for a while now (9 straight losses? something like that)
Don't know how much home advantage will count for them, can't see anything other than an Ospreys win tbh

That O'Irish side SHOULD be brilliant. Sadly though Toby Booth seems to have lost the plot.

Weakness for Irish lies at 9 for them!

And 10 - whenever I saw Bowden play at fly-half for Auckland he was ssssshhhhhiiitttt!!
I'm off to the game tomorrow, so everyone look out for me on tv. I'm the undeniably sexy one who looks like Gavin Henson.

How does that work then?

Only saw highlights of the first half, but Ospreys scrum was getting mullered, and I've just seen Adam Jones went off injured at half time
Not good for Wales, both Adam (potentially) and Gethin out

Irish 24 - 12 Ospreys

Didn't see the game, saw the Toulon-Munster game but pity that neither Irish nor Ospreys are going thru.

 

[TRF_Cymro]

Played Hairsparys ... much worse news however is that Adam is injured

Complete and utter ********. Ospreys were poor throughout. Irish played well and thoroughly deserved the win.

Big players letting Ospreys down today. I thought Bowe was appalling, as was Hollah, Jon Thomas and Collins. Biggar failed when the going got tough and the midfield got totally outmuskled. Only two positives for me were Ryan Jones who was immense yet again and Duncan Jones was great when he came on. Tipuric looked good aswell.

Why are the Ospreys not capable of putting more than one decent game together, they're great one week, terrible the next? Their basics let them down on so many occasions.

Just to make things worse, Adam Jones looked like he picked up a potentially serious injury, greeeeat. What a complete let down of a weekend with both the Scarlets and Ospreys out of the HC. Really good start to such an important rugby year!

Wankers!!!!!

What a load of shite.

Not sure if it was Adam's shoulder or elbow. Either way, ******* superb.

 

[Bluemoon]

Ospreys still have a chance at the Amlin though, which is better than nothing to play for.

Could have done with that win guys, we need our internationals getting some form going into the 6N. Very disappointing for the ospreys considering the resources they have. Surely there is only so many times the coaching staff can blame the players?

Munster gonna win this one i think
