Ospreys 24-23 Harlequins. 5 Oct. 2008

A second string Quins team turned up to face a strong Ospreys team. It was another classic game of two halves. In the first half the home side were totally dominant although they failed to capitalise on their possession. They managed to score an exellent try after Alun Wyn-Jones hit a brilliant angle for a run. He passed on to Henson who fed Shane Williams to dot the try down.
The game was set-up for the Ospreys to run away with it in the second half but Quins scrum half Gomarsall had other ideas. He played a stormer in the second half urging his forwards on and gaining terrority with some probing kicks. Quins pulled back two tries from De Wet Barry and Fuga and made the Ospreys look a shadow of the team from the first half.
The game looked over but the last play of the game saw Bowe score a try in the corner and Hook kicked a difficult conversion. A real escape for the Welsh side.

My man of the match: Gomarsall.
