Sounds like a good game. I hear that Cooper has come on early for Sowrey.

Oh dear. Grenoble try with 3 mins to go, sounds like game over for our cup.

Nothing disappointing about the result, we were never gonna win the competition. Scott Wilson coming off at the end injured isn't good. Harris and Cooper getting good run outs a big plus

15 of the 23 are from our Academy & that will have been a good run out for them. We need the likes of Willis to get as much game time as possible in these competitions. You can only learn so much on the training pitch.

Dissapointing considering that every other team has beat them in the pool and has put over 40 points on them in the process.
Nice to see Harris get a run out like... but not the start we want to keep momentum going.

I've never been interested since day one when
our European squad was announced and it showed the lack of interest and ambition for the competition. That's why it's best we don't qualify for champions cup. If we had that team (great having loads of academy and EQP tho) against Munster, Leinster, Toulon it would have been another ospreys result.

Well just think about the backline for two mins....
Marshall, Conon, Kibirige, Willis...all very young and inexperienced, but great potential.
Harris at 13...first game in how long...? A long time.
Robinson is only just back from long term injury.
Dan Temm is a reserve team player and not now likely to make the step up.
Witty, and Sowery have been great in amongst the senior boys, but they are still learning their trade and its nice to how they cope with out Mark Wilson, Will Welch, Scott Lawson, Ally
Hogg...etc
Maybe that's why they aren't quite first choicers under Dean yet...they need to take their game up that level...
Ill say again..shame we didn't win....but games like these show us where players are and what players are made of...ie leadership etc.
