EDF Semi Final. Just when you think the Ospreys can't get any worse, look out. How they failed to score is beyond a joke. The Welsh side had enough possession throughout the game to win easily. Their problem was that they played as a team of individuals and there was no collective pattern to the play.
Gloucester were able to defend the numerous breaks the Ospreys made and in return took the penalties that came their way. There was a point in the second half when the Ospreys were 6-0 down and had a chance for a kickable penalty. They turned that down for a line out near the Gloucester line hoping to get a try. That was a big decision that went against them.
The game was a poor spectacle, painful at times for Ospreys fans. Gloucester showed nothing in attack but they did finally manage a breakaway try for Balshaw.
Also Henson and Tindall limped off with injuries to dent their Lions hopes.
Hopefully this will be the Ospreys worst performance of the season. On this form they won't improve quick enough to beat Munster in the Heineken Cup.
