Ospreys pulled off a thrilling victory against the Glasgow Warriors in the United Rugby Championship, clinching the win with Jack Walsh’s penalty in the dying moments of the match. This hard-fought win marks Ospreys’ first away victory in Glasgow in nine years, lifting them to 11th place in the standings while leaving the Warriors 13 points behind league leaders Leinster.
The match started strongly for Ospreys, who took an early lead with tries from Morgan Morse, Kieran Hardy, and Sam Perry within the initial 17 minutes. Despite three missed conversions by Dan Edwards, Ospreys looked in control. However, the Warriors fought back, inspired by tries from Jack Mann, Patrick Schickerling—who scored twice—and Facundo Cordero, who ultimately put the Warriors ahead for the first time after the break.
In a game of momentum swings, Hardy responded with another try for Ospreys, but the Warriors regained the lead again through Nathan McBeth’s score and a successful conversion from Duncan Weir. In a twist of fate, after a chaotic turnover during the final stages, Walsh’s composed kick secured the dramatic win for Ospreys.
