There was St David’s Day delight for the Ospreys as they beat Glasgow Warriors 32-31 at Scotstoun with “a rollercoaster ride” of a match taking a dramatic twist at the final turn.
.Apart from the opening five minutes, the half belonged totally to the home side and it came as no surprise when they added a third try with Reuben Morgan-Williams sending Keiran Williams over.
