Ospreys was beaten by Glasgow Warriors, who won a bonus-point victory at Scotstoun. The win saw Ospreys leapfrog Glasgow Warriors to reach the top four of United Rugby Championship.
Sione Tuipulotu’s try was added to Cole Forbes’ early score for Danny Wilson’s men for a 17-12 halftime advantage.
Josh McKay, fullback, incorrect-footed Ospreys for a third goal. This was before attempts by Tuipulotu in the centre and Fraser Brown in the centre.
Four penalties were scored by Gareth Anscombe against the Cardiff team led his former coach.
Dan Evans also crossed the line to make it more respectable. But the Welsh team never looked like winning in Glasgow.
Tuipulotu, an Australian-born player, surpassed Rory Darge’s fine performance to win the man-ofthe-match award. His willingness to take the ball to the goal and dedication to the cause inspired those around him in Glasgow colors.
Forbes’s successful try had edged Glasgow ahead, after Ross Thompson and Anscombe exchanged penalties.
Warriors took a 15-9 lead after McKay’s deceitful pass for Ryan Wilson was made to Tuipulotu, whose strength matched that of Ryan Wilson.
Young McKay proved that he could make his opponents lose their minds when he won the match after Darge’s hard work. The Scottish-qualified Tuipulotu defeated Anscombe to score under the posts and earn the bonus point.
Evans brought some lighthearted joy to the visitors when he scored his try in just 71 minutes. Glasgow, however, responded quickly with a roll-maul try by Fraser Brown.
