Houget is a magnificent player, tough call for fullback of the weekend between him and Jarrod Payne of the

Fair play rolland just missed our forward pass

Ospreys are rubbish. Walker looks out of his depth in the euro comp again.

Ospreys pressuring well. Good work by all hands, starting to ask good questions of Toulouse defence.

Biggar missed third tackle, Bishop makes Biggars defence a lot more sound

I disagree, Walker is starting to look good at this level, great runner.

Good work by osprey, been in the toulouse 22 for a good ten minutes now

our throw in, good take, starting a drive. Tips breaks away, ball out wide to beck. five yards out and pen ospreys.

Khan goes over for try

Crowd hate it...

12-7 34 mins gone

He is in great form, good lad

Yes come on

Poor missed touch by Fussell but we steal after the lineout and boot down field... toulouse another lineout in their 22

good work ospreys

Burgess clears but only 10 yards.. O's throw in just outside the 22

scrum in the ST 22

we are handling their scrum quite well

Great move looks like beck stripped right in the corner...

Great play for the last 1/4 by the ospreys..

ST are error ridden... Wow...!

Better from the Ospreys but too many errors. They need to keep the posession, they look awful without the ball.

HT 12-7

Toulouse were the better of the opening quarter but the ospreys really played well in the 2nd quarter.

Very close to a second try just before the close..!

If the Ospreys can keep up this pressure then this could be a good result. THough Toulouse just look so powerful

Come on Toulouse!

Good to see the O's coming back in it,they had a terrible start but have really grown into the game.Now they need to come out firing from the start in the 2nd half.

Scarlets ten points down at HT.

I dont know why but i had an inkling that the O's might win this match

Is this on radio anywhere. Radio 5 Live says it is on there but they are covering gymnastics of all things.

toulouse start with a bang..

Radio Wales maybe ?

Toulouse line out on our 22 stolen by Ryan..

ST not rolling against Johnston away penalty to clear our lines

up to half way good take by King

Khan over the top, cleared by Clerc.

Scrum to toulouse on our 22. On come the reserves for ST... New Hooker and loosehead

Poux and Botha

Penalty toulouse. ST call for a re-scrum

Penalty again, Ospreys new TH boring in

ST go for line out in the corner

Os bring on Bevington and Lloyd Peers

Guy Nomes shouts scrum. ST take his advice. Infront of the posts, 5 yards out

Scrum pops up, penalty ST

still 12-7 ST have spurned several early kicks at goal

good Os defence holding them out

This will mtake some defensive effort here

What defence

Great defence and penalty to Os for ST holding on in the tackle...

ST spent 10 mins on the os line and got nothing..

line out on Os ten metre line our throw in

Great defense from the O's well done

Bearman lifts an ST players leg and concedes a penalty

Jesus Os really getting the luck of the bounce here, great pressure by toulouse but McAlistar is resorting to cross field kicks now not running the ball through the hands.

Interesting game this, as it goes on and Toulouse dont score, i can see the O's getting a win

Scrum five ospreys put in for an ST knock on

Huge scrum by ST. Re scrum called by Rolland. Crowd are very angry

No one knows whats going on at the moment, Rolland pulling out bizarre calls. ST push os over the line but awards ST a penalty for the Os scrumhalf Khan being offside.

Ryan jones off for blood replacement Dan Lewis

Great scrum by Os but Clerc gets in in the corner... Rolland goes to the TMO

Good try in the end

Clercs 34th HEC try is awarded.


McAllistar misses, 17 - 7

56 mins gone

Still not over

Toulouse are immense in attack, absolutely relentless...

ST are massively the better team Os still hanging on proudly but I think they are really wishing that someone had given ST the Poopie last week to give them a chance.
