The Ospreys have a game on Tuesday against a Regional Select XV, but first on sunday, they're playing... Football. A team of Rhys Webb, Gareth Owen, Dan Biggar, Eli Walker, Steve Tandy, Shane Williams, Adam Jones and Paul James will take on the winners of the Craig Powell Memorial Six-A-Side Tournament at Risca United AFC. I can just imagine Adam saying "I'm up for it" just for a laugh. Biggar probaly fancies himself as the next Ryan Giggs, while Shane is apparently quite good at Football, and was offered a pro contract with Swansea City before he joined Neath. Should be quite funny to see the two props have a crack, though.

They where due to take on Mumbles CC in a 20/20 match, too, but that was rained off.

What?! Ospreys are playing a footballl team?

Anyway, Saracens beat Bordeaux 22-17. I was looking it up from 6.30, but I never realised the Saracens website meant 6.30 French time until a tweet came up saying the full time result at quarter past 7 on Twitter!

Did Wigglesworth play in any of the games?
Such a shame he left =/

Some highlights of the Sale and the Saffacens games here:

Looks like Sheridan is back to his old bulldozing self, he bounced the Clermont #3, and he wasn't a small boy either. A lot of crappy defending by Sale in there as well

Thanks for the link. Gave me a bit of an insight into how Clermont play. Great try from the Sale Number 8.

That's a BIG win!

Against a patched-up, nothing side. Meaningless to take notice of the result. I'm quite interested to see this new fly half, Matthew Morgan. Never heard of him, but he scored a hattrick, and was preferred to Matt Jarvis who was moved to full back. I'll like to see how he progresses.

The Ospreys are playing Leeds on saturday at Headingly. I'll be going to see it, hopefully they can pull off a simular result. Losing would be a nightmare, Magners champions Vs Premiership strugglers!

 

[tinchy17]

The Sarries are playine Esher this Sunday - hoping for the exact same thing. It would be embarrassing if we lost!

Ulster vs Bath is on the BBC red button at 7.20 (only for freesat/sky viewers, i think) but also on the BBC sport website.

Johann Muller captaining Ulster on his debut (never seen that done before!)
