Connacht back in the game. Connacht make a mess of defending a grubber kick and Ospreys make a threatening charge. It is converted and it's an ideal start for the hosts. A good attacking move from Connacht that sees Wootton make a surging run through the centre. Connacht didn't have enough numbers down the blindside and it's a very sloppy opening for the province. They find space down the blindside with Reuben Morgan-Williams playing a pass to the winger before receiving it again and sprinting over. It's half-time and Connacht finish the half in great style to take the lead. Connacht use their forwards to go through the phases. A ten point cushion now for the away side. The conversion is good from Jack Walsh and it's a three point game with ten minutes to go. The home side have a scrum deep in their own half. The celebrations are Connacht's as they hold out for the win in Swansea.

We have to perform at the weekend. They understand the Ospreys group and have a real love for the team. They can guide us in the right way.” He understands the young group is full of energy but needs good guidance. Booth will hope to get the best out of his young players while counting the days until his senior men return with the coach perhaps being guided by the old mantra: “When you’re going through difficult times, keep going.” The Welsh team also kicked far too much. Ospreys have lost to Connacht in the United Rugby Championship clash in Swansea. But it’s anything but a perfect world for the Ospreys for this one, with 24 players missing. Drop-goal: J. Cons: J. Blade, J. But the Ospreys couldn’t bag the spoils.

Connacht recover from nightmare start to clinch key victory in Wales (Irish Examiner)

Westerners rebound from a disastrous start which saw them fall 12 points adrift after just eight minutes to beat Ospreys 22-19.

The Welsh side huffed and puffed in the closing stages of this game but Connacht’s defence was strong enough to keep them at bay. The Ospreys set up an exciting final 10 minutes when replacement hooker Sam Parry showed tremendous strength to batter his way over the line. After several dynamic carries they were over the advantage line, and after going through the hands John Porch crossed for their third try. Ospreys flanker Ethan Roots got sent to the sin bin for a dangerous tackle on Gavin Thornbury. However, they had won enough momentum which allowed scrum-half Caolin Blade to take advantage of a tired Ospreys defence to score. Andy Friend’s side made a terrible start as the Ospreys raced into a 12-0 lead within the opening 10 minutes.
