00:00second half and of course make certain of a third victory from five matches this season all at home
00:06ulster just one defeat in their last 11 games against welsh team sam tarry giving the ospreys
00:13a glimmer of hope with that try from the driving mole close to the break and it's going to be
00:20ulster to kick off in the second half through aiden morgan
00:24and taken by lewis jones
00:33use it
00:36kieran hardy spell of the jersey reds where his out half was
00:39calum sheedy who's come back to wales now hunting for international caps no
00:45doubt off goes mike lorry already an international and a try scorer for ireland
00:49and now cooney for morgan this cross kick lead led to a try for stuart mccluskey against the
00:57lions that's or for jacob stockdale against the lions that was stuart mccluskey the error by the
01:04ospreys rather disheartening one at the start of this second half and an early scrummage for an
01:10all-star i think stew is quite lucky it took the bounce that it did for for poor dan edwards just
01:18when you thought it was going to pop up it just took another roll along the ground that's my guy
01:23nailed the kick as well didn't it wasn't like a soft one he's uh he's a lot of he's a lot of
01:29skill he's a lot of finesse for a for a big man he's only only real option let's go let's go
01:36holster eight after four rounds one two lost two ten points ospreys 13th
01:41one one lost three with six points lenstert on the top with a maximum of 20 points
01:55good strong by all-star dave mccann controlling of the base penalty coming elsewhere's way
02:03it's been a difficult one to call a scrub lost boys have got a couple of penalties
02:07first half when you pass the ball that one the ulcer team hit hard they stayed straight seven
02:13and they chase with their legs coming when they are dominant i don't want to break your bind and
02:18push but in the front row okay they did enough then to upset the osprey scrum could be a bit
02:26of deja vu now yeah next one i think morgan who played super rugby for the hurricanes puts
02:32ulster again into a very strong position maybe could have chipped off a bit more down the line
02:39there got also a little bit closer to that corner flag it's james mccormick
02:46goes to the tail to harry sheridan no two two two two keep it up keep it up keep it up
02:55holster breaking away through james mccormick already as a try to his name
03:00here is cooney lovely line from carson
03:08ulster head off around the corner they've been deadly in these positions this season
03:12or ball retention has usually been excellent but not on this occasion
03:18robbery from the ospreys in such an important position
03:23super line from ben carson on the wall can he just delay that he showed the
03:30bonus inside had the defense guessing and then a lovely late line for ben
03:38morgan morris with the turnover that very good technique here's the line just an out-to-win line
03:46no gas watch morgan morris here straight on the ball supporting his own weight
03:55this team had a bit of trouble there started all four games this season for the ospreys
04:04so often takes the line out ball off goes lloyd
04:08look lively in the loose the converted hooker converted for this game anyway here's great banks
04:16dion furry and tracer brown notable hookers have converted to the back row and have moved back and
04:22forth furry winning a world cup in the back row for south africa here's lowry takes it well under
04:31pressure from dan cassandre south african sign from the cheetahs getting his first start here's
04:39now we play great banks comes in with the tackle
04:42was out back to morgan stop
04:48gives the ball straight back to the ospreys and jack walsh
04:52who looks for space and the ball bounces unkindly for him good cover by white keep coming
05:02superb kick from jack wall show the space straight away
05:06look at the advantage he's given his team now the territory and possession
05:10cooney couldn't really do much
05:14i thought aiden morgan should have probably put more on that kick it was kind of a kick to nothing
05:19following that there was no one retreating in the backfield to cover that space
05:24he saw and he went for it this is a good outcome for the ospreys
05:27open yeah but the problem is you're two two let's go
05:42sam parry and finds lewis jones again kieran hardy and keelan giles comes into the back line
05:52quicker ball for the ospreys to operate off great carry by morris again mccluskey
05:57tries to steal hardy to tipperick to great banks
06:02one out what is it knocked on by warren off go all stir sheridan takes his hands away
06:11and it's all slowed down okay an opportunity to make a break
06:17correct okay slightly quicker ball at last in the ospreys you actually have the slowest
06:22ruck speed in the urc of 4.95 seconds per ruck shanks reaches for his wallet quicker than that
06:32good stats uh yeah it was two much better carries one off keelan giles and then an excellent morgan
06:39morris which got him on the front foot but then he just saw that pass coming back seven ben warren
06:43took his eyes off it clear and they just lost all that momentum hurry up just need to look after
06:51the ball for six seven plus phases at the moment they can't just a little bit of inaccuracy letting
06:58him down glad to see keelan giles get his hands on the ball he is a crutch runner i have had a few
07:05battles with him boy it's been in a few wells usually succumbs to injury at the worst possible
07:17fella and this ulster strum really is in the ascendancy now driving the ospreys back again
07:22lovely pass from morgan to ben carson burner cock on the outside he was looking for the underhand
07:28offload i think they're thought differently here's cormack is a jukeboot every time he gets the ball
07:35he sets a challenge for this ospreys defense nice hands here stockdale now mccluskey carson
07:42good pass here i look forward from sheridan to mike lorry mike lorry could go through here
07:48lorry gets the offload to cooney across and the ospreys scrambling on the deck
07:56recovering well use it there was a forward pass on the build-up
08:04i think you're right robo right below us stop in front
08:07of us
08:08walsh and here is stuart mccluskey 18 caps for ireland
08:15as uh players like bumby aki and robbie henshaw to get past to get into that green shirt
08:20cooney for those sullivan advantage dangerous takeoff dangerous tackle by the ospreys
08:26advantage justine be careful yeah in the underground first dangerous takeoff
08:33very much trying to chop him down straight away but he's on his knees first yeah you
08:37had the advantage over there but it was finished now we play yeah he's number 12
08:47needed to stay on his feet yeah i stopped the clock now time off
08:54mccluskey just getting a bit of attention there what he means the big one needs to stay on the
08:58outside break craig from ben carson yeah i i thought i was going to see the chicken wing
09:04offload to verner cock on the edge um he did all the right things he got on the outside drew the
09:10last defender in and then maybe he should have released verner on the edge but i can't see how
09:14much you know maybe they were running out of room but i did really well look sharp yeah we continue
09:20to play you go out
09:28don't make me only a second start very very good against a tough tough tough goals team
09:36over in south africa and they've got jude possum on the bench he's been impressive injured hurt his
09:41shoulder last week an old shoulder injury that they had surgery on 18 months ago and james hume
09:46to come back from injury here's mccormick more more 11 11 and also got some momentum
09:55give me that again here mccormick already already has a try
09:59away to his name waiting patiently at the back going to be an advantage
10:04against the ospreys in from the side i think it was morgan morris yeah he's penalized
10:10hey side entry
10:19do you have another side entry
10:24very clean here now
10:27on the wrong side and you change your mind
10:30okay
10:38mccormick the ulster line out has been going really well today
10:41seven hasn't been the story throughout the season they've dropped the ball
10:50and the ospreys pile through and away goes sheridan
10:55cooney morgan screaming for the ball it goes to ben carson good footwork from carson he's a big man
11:02both centers chunky individuals ulster getting so close to the line there through tomo too
11:10no no no play don't play too too away go away
11:14right that's not rolling ulster for the ball in there
11:20advantage for not rolling against the ospreys another penalty could be a yellow card as well
11:28thought we saw a drop eight or was on the wrong side the back of that ball
11:34multiple infringement next one is going to be yeah i think the tmo called his play on
11:41i'm not going away piatti checking with his tmo
11:46you've seen they've given us knock on some of you not throwing eight
11:51a couple of driving lineups recently from ulster
11:56yeah getting a bit excited obviously points on the board thinking about
12:00scoring again forgetting maybe to do the small things i know i know i gave a warning guys let's
12:06go yeah dynamic on looking for the second goal this time james mccormack uses dynamism
12:14and he's almost unwatched he's able to ghost his way through the invisible ospreys defense
12:21dynamite ignited once again from the ulster forwards and james mccormack gets his second
12:29step i think i almost think the ospreys weren't even ready
12:35i mean if you don't look easy they were ready yes sir i mean
12:41too easy that far too easy for for goal line defense
12:47well not to take anything away from james mccormack second try of the night
12:53yeah we'll be a happy boy just look for a weak shoulder didn't he went
12:59you're thinking you can't really let players tap and go like that and just get their shoulders
13:04through attacking the score so easily you've got to make them work a little bit harder
13:09and straight through will great thanks
13:10tunnel tool goes off as john cooney hope he's back to the heebie-jeebies
13:25talked about what a great kicker he is he's got the yips he has got the yips
13:32remember ernie ells on the first green of the masters when he six puffered from three feet
13:36yeah he's definitely got a moment not quite as bad as ernie else john cooney but
13:42he's yipping a few richie murphy looks on as some ben scored a great try here last week
13:47against his old man slicing through the line out use it jack of course is in the ulster squad is
13:58another son of richie murphy talking to green little at halftime john cooney again gets so
14:04much height on those kicks it makes them really contestable for stockdale
14:12nice weight again from cooney craig a super kick yeah i was just gonna say as we were just
14:17berating him about his goal kick line i was saying before the game he's such a good such a good
14:23kicker box kicks spiral bombs and did you see how jacob was able to without even full speed
14:31get after that get up challenge it and then it's a 50 50
14:40and was that straight referee tiardi play on williams edwards jack walsh
14:51telling the advantage garth thomas ships it on great run by warren keep the mark boys
14:58let's raise with a bit of hurry up here now williams to walsh justin tipperick outside him
15:04now drives cooney out of the way hardy to edwards in comes mccormick
15:12having a good game in the absence of tom stewart and rob herring and john andrew here's boshoff
15:18one of the tacklers in there scoring a try on that first half williams beautiful work by williams
15:30and walsh and then tipperick and here's morgan morris the top carrier for the ospreys this season
15:36now tipperick can't get past mike laurie but that was building nicely much better from the ospreys
15:44kept the ball alive they're accurate got themselves realigned well two good offloads here
15:49one from jack walsh and the next pass just a take and give from justin tipperick
15:56just want to keel and giles out there didn't you ball in hand if you're an ospreys fan make sure
16:00you're up yeah wasn't quite able to inject the pace they wanted no but he did well the offload
16:06didn't he did justin tipperick and what a pass from tipperick for 10 meters perfect right in
16:11front of me here much much better than the ospreys starting to play a little bit pulled
16:16onto the ball that's where the space is the space is around the outside of this ulster defense it's
16:21been hard work for them to try and get the ball there because they haven't really been winning
16:24those first up collisions tying in defenders and trying to get ulster on the back foot when
16:30they're playing attacking rugby multiple replacements from from both sides
16:41mccormick a lot of movement it was almost so much that it caused a stutter
16:47from james mccormick wasn't quite sure what was happening in front of him here's williams
16:53and now hardy carried by gallant phillips who carried well off the bench against the
16:59bulls last week making good meters now max nagy the starting
17:03fullback against the south african sides now dan cassindi known as postman dan
17:13will great banks disappointed with his challenge of mccormick close to the line that
17:18led to an easy pick and go try for ulster don't play the night go play the night go back go back
17:23for very good hardy williams it's been a lot of first receiver today where he
17:30played a lot of rugby in the past for lester in particular long spell at the tigers walsh cassindi
17:38kresge goes in with the tackle set for hardy great banks and now jack walsh
17:46running into a myriad of ulster defenders enjoying a bit of possession now the ospreys
17:53one of their rare forays into the ulster 22 keelan giles boshoff trying to keep his
18:01hands free to release the ball ulster come in referee says no leave it hardy plays it great
18:08banks uh good listen well done good listen hardy walsh max nagy
18:23really attracting any ulster defenders
18:27three or four ospreys players in that ruck which means they're out of the game
18:31oh yeah oh harry sheridan on williams
18:39could be could be
18:44time off time off from andrea peardi okay i need to show you a net contact
18:52by an ulster player on ospreys player yeah put that on the screen let me know when you're at
18:57the screen yeah i'm in front of the screen when you want okay it's a red card last week josh
19:04murphy came thundering off the ball possible head contact by this does not look good at all
19:12for harry sheridan or for for owen williams who's taken a real dinger to the head
19:19there is a dip in his legs which they'll look for mitigating factors
19:31harder enough yeah that is the question
19:36owen williams is quite low when it carries into it
19:39it is high but is there direct contact to the head is it just under
19:43yeah i think it didn't change any dynamically
19:57this is the gray area i'll show you again
20:08okay it's not all right he's indirect okay will you tell me he's indirect because the
20:14the head is moving forward first in the direction of the or the white shoulder asking
20:20okay i'm seeing full play because the player is upright i have we have indirect contact because
20:27the the head is moving forward first and then on the shoulder on the on the on the white player
20:32some uh for this reason i'm thinking not high level of danger and yellow card for against
20:37number sorry uh number number five white agree with you okay five
20:49uh
20:53it's a yellow card because indirect contact yeah yellow card again the analysis from pearty
20:59was certainly forensic and what was your what were your thoughts on it tom that is moving forward
21:05first so indirect watching this saying that's the red that's a red it's a red is
21:12contact with head i agree with that decision by andrea peardi and his team
21:20i think it was
21:22very high but maybe not right on his head his head went through the tack and land on
21:27his shoulder there was a slight dip in the legs from the ulster player
21:32so ultimately i think that's the right decision parry to chipper it for the second week in a row
21:41the australians are playing against 14 men david creel was sent off last week for the south african
21:48side for two spells of 10 minutes the australians played against 13 men not enough here i get those
21:56shorts up quick yeah number eight early drive on the lifter
22:01did you hear pearty telling stewart mccluskey well done good listen yeah
22:07brilliant he's such a big master on the rock
22:13he's a nine's nightmare
22:17nathan doke is on now for john cooney james humphries is on
22:21as well so new halfbacks for ulster parry
22:28and beautifully done by alan o'connor the ulster captain ray carries for
22:33ulster ever on the boat so a chance to escape from dodge here
22:39nathan dope as he said before the game in that interview with uh graham little as he warmed up
22:43he's desperate to get a firm hold long term on that nine shirt craig yeah well he's still he's
22:50still only young he's only 22 um i mean his his dad neil was scrum half for ireland it's
22:57it's in his blood uh and he loves his rugby and i've got up in here i've no doubt he will um it's
23:03just difficult when john cooney's playing as well as he is but john's 34 35 you know we can't play
23:08this game forever typically he thinks he can play it forever he's 35 release
23:16penalties it's got to be a penalty it has to be a penalty wrong side ulster
23:22not getting out of the way hardly here's morris pulls it back for walsh who's looked good in this
23:27game caylan giles trying to open up some space for himself ben carson does a good defensive job there
23:34morris pullback wasn't one of accuracy but the ospreys could get away here through tom florence
23:41still advantage hardy jones still playing the advantage to the ospreys we're enjoying territory
23:48and possession right now against these 14 men
23:53kieran hardy looking to go quickly
23:58he's back
24:01seen him do that for wales and score thank you guys i think the best option is to put in the
24:07just lost the last one
24:10yeah i'd agree with the shanks they've got a better chance of the fire
24:13i was gonna say five meters out 15 meters out one thing to say we don't want to ask them
24:23this gets caught up sometimes can't move just because the tackle technique you use
24:28you can't get out the way what a lovely bit of skill there from jack walsh
24:33he's looked good hasn't he jack walsh no he's fine i'm happy and the team on the back foot most
24:40of the time here's tarry again jones has been the the go-to man hasn't he it's usually adam beard
24:46here's morris smashing his way almost through nathan doke push back push back push back 18 back
24:55on the ball garen phillips another advantage to the ospreys will great banks waits goes tries to
25:03dip under dave mccann ulster pulling great banks back but they are on that penalty advantage
25:10ulster already on a red he's worn the ospreys now the same warning against them
25:16same warning against you 18 offside and i call him three or four times
25:21and it's uh oh sorry morgan morris in front and i also get the same warning so next infringement
25:27will be a yellow card it's a nice and line out play around the front team please morgan morris
25:32but a meter out let's go i thought nathan duke was going to act as a speed bump on him but he
25:37actually did well oh they've gone quick here goes morris got that try right at the end against the
25:43end against the bulls last week on his hundredth appearance hardy
25:50ben carson defending boshoff tries to clear out ulster coming through tipperick to jones
25:58mccann with the tackle good work by the ospreys at the breakdown kieran hardy
26:03can they test this ulster defense that's one man down tipperick
26:12try time keelan giles some pretty pictures at last from the ospreys and they get their reward
26:23awesome awesome from the ospreys there did exactly what i wanted to do tied in all of
26:28the ulster defense with the pick and go then the ball out the back from tipperick
26:32it's a classy pass there from florence over the top which is subtle hands from tipperick the key
26:37there greg as he takes it flat and takes it forward yeah he did exactly what the guys weren't
26:45doing in the first half and then florence just had his had his choice to pick i think verner
26:50cock just got a little bit out of sorts on the edge there not close to the line you kind of need
26:58to come up and put pressure on and kind of did one or the other that ball just gets floated over
27:06jack walsh will take this conversion attempt
27:1981 goal kicker last season was jack walsh but not this time
27:25ospreys are really starting to play with a bit of confidence here
27:32master operator justin tipperick tom over the years everything you know you name it you can
27:38do it he's good in the loose he's good in the tight one of the most intelligent players you'll
27:43ever meet the high skill set and he's also the top lineup jumper for the ospreys for wales
27:49james humphries restart off goes morris he's been percussive and is carrying
28:06now brandon i eight use it
28:10use it
28:14shooting the plus he's gone off now it means jude tosselthwaite is on
28:19michael lorry climbs high ronaldo-esque contest first and then offbeat play on
28:27humphries threw a beautiful pass for ben carson for his
28:32try down in south africa flat zippy pass to the wing
28:36some of uh ulster legs and david of course on the penalty lucky but you play the night
28:45he was said as well before the game nathan douglas he's not that happy at playing at 10
28:49he wants to focus at nine number nine leg thing with nathan douglas there's no doubt he is a
28:54quality player the problem is he's got john cooney there as well but he's got 12 years on his
29:00on john cooney you know he's 22 years old and sometimes you've just got to dig in and
29:04you've just got to wait for that opportunity to come because at some stage john cooney will
29:09retire or he'll move on okay guys two and eight south thing nathan don't you know he's an ulster
29:14boy he wants to stay here and sometimes you're just gonna have to maybe just dig in suck it in
29:21just wait for your opportunity because it will come and then when it comes he'll be the next
29:26ulster nine for six seven eight years
29:29seven away seven away seven scott wilson's in there too
29:4418 he was also on that emerging ireland tour one of six ulster one to make the trip
29:49also got game time off the bench
29:53so good development for those younger players
29:57and the leg is lifted in the ball so he already gives another penalty advantage
30:03now they really are rumbling hard here into the 22 nathan doke and here's my glory there's space
30:11there's certainly a space for stockdale stockdale that'll stutter step has he managed to finish
30:19in spectacular fashion so on field try we'll check it first with that
30:25we'll give the time to mattel
30:28but they don't feel that she's on trial yes they are just a moment it's already been denied one
30:34craig is he going to be denied another was the pass flat did he get the ball down i think the
30:39try is good we're going to see here
30:51that's a try as long as the pass isn't forward they might want to check the pass to him but i
30:55think his heel doesn't touch the line gets his feet in the air that pass from james humphries
31:03oh my goodness is there is there any other way to say
31:08that your dad is david humphries by throwing then throwing a pass like that
31:14oh my goodness what a lovely overs line from mike lorry off that pass
31:19i know we don't have any he's in touch before the ground again well tiardi so twice then
31:27litterini looking closely his foot's off the ground there surely
31:38james humphries enjoying his cameos oh what a spectacular bit of backs play to watch uh
31:45james humphries that pass to mike lorry a lovely arc over his line and jacob what a finish what a
31:52finish he is certainly playing with a lot of confidence like he still had a lot to do
31:59so Nathan Tope what a kick from the young man takes him to 298 points for Ulster
32:08one good pass two good passes three good passes all out of fun the player has to check that
32:16just catch it behind us as slow as feet down that's not a try
32:20yeah did you see just a little step in the field from from jingham and 22 just to hold on his man
32:29well it's real showbiz rugby that from Ulster brilliant across the field
32:35no
32:40taken by ray so Ulster into the mid-30s now use that
32:49certainly scoring a lot more points at the start of this season or Ulster
32:52stop celebrating a second try with another pumping clearance it's great if someone like
32:59that in that position like a simon zebo with the left foot or a
33:02a rob carney to clear your lines with such distance
33:19tipper it gets his hands on it but don't come through he wants this to stay in play
33:24he was very alert there he spoke about him a lot haven't we since he's come on and before the game
33:32a big thing is just making sure that he's happy as well you know you've got two quality scrum halves
33:36and the secret and where the good coaches work out to be great is by keeping people happy like
33:43Nathan Tope making sure that you're giving him game time making sure he just doesn't come home
33:46for a cameo appearance making sure you get some quality game time against all the opposition
33:51subs time off anything of the big teams
33:56the amount of players that they've got but you know leo is still able to keep
34:00all those players happy that he's got there
34:04jake white was saying last week toby booth was talking about he's a squad of 62 players
34:10the ospreys 36 let's go they close it now
34:13oh
34:28ray the matty wearing 20 hardy tread well underneath this with stockdale nothing clear

34:54holster beating 32 27 last week scoring five
34:59tries and beating glasgow in round 120 points to 19 an 84th minute drive from dave shanahan
35:05on that occasion great start to the season beating the current champs
35:14certainly was
35:17let's talk about starting big don't you get the first result yeah and especially
35:22especially at home you know they want to make ravenhill the kingsman stadium they
35:26want to make it a fortress make it difficult for teams to come and play here
35:31taken by ray in the line out
35:37okay keep it up keep it up
35:43that was
35:46okay nine dorby win last week after conceding 12 tries on their trip to south africa burner
35:54caught the south african the seven specialist in possession well-hounded and the ospreys
36:02get away with the ball relief for them there could have been another score for ulster there
36:07it's a couple of reefs we've seen now robo
36:12a pirouette it's a good tackle here from kieran hardy and justin tiprick lift up
36:19tops he's desperate trying to offload
36:24yeah super super desperate defense from the ospreys let's go
36:30tiprick and his chums will be hoping for a home victory against edinburgh then they play zebra
36:37ospreys will be moving to st helens next season to play their rugby playing at the
36:43liberty stadium and bridge end this season
36:49here's doke and now callum reed carries hard into black shirts
36:56nathan doke pulled back by ray
37:03and it's an ospreys penalty this time you know what do you think of the move to st helens tom
37:09i think it's really good uh the swansea.com you do lose a bit of atmosphere there you're not
37:14filling it you might have four or five thousand there you know the capacity is huge and we just
37:19get lost in there but i've seen a few games they played the stormers at the brewery field recently
37:26and even with five thousand in there you get an atmosphere you know it's intense
37:31you're getting players closer to the action it's a far better option um you know that that pitch
37:37has held up so far um you know when there's heavy rain it becomes a little bit different but i
37:42certainly think the move to st helens is good i think it's what everyone wants to see you want to
37:46see a ground that is a rugby ground with a rugby atmosphere and you want it to be intense and you
37:51want people to come there and realize that the crowd are on top of them and i think it's it's
37:56good i can't wait to see what it looks like in a venue famous for a particular cricketing occasion
38:01occasion wasn't it gary sobers hit six sixes and one over off malcolm nash of la morgan there
38:12placement hooker ethan lewis the 30 year old from church village justin tipperick wonderful hands
38:19again just watch and admire you won't see too much of justin tipperick going forward
38:24he must be closing in retirement now in his mid-30s
38:28take off he's been a delight to watch over the years
38:35he's such a gifted individual in all departments as tom shanklin was saying
38:43hardy by orth thomas and boshoff brought down by carson good tackle by him
38:53lewis
38:54thomas
38:56jack walsh
38:59ulster defending hard through tussle thwait by orth scott
39:05i'm trying to get a break through that ulster defense dan casende
39:09from the democratic republic of congo carried on by garon phillips ball is there ball is there
39:16don't play for that please thank you jack walsh moving into 10 when he's very used to playing
39:23bullshipped on by max nagy there
39:27hardy walsh boshoff north greece can't get outside their ulster defense at the moment
39:33now they want some quick ball as well at the moment the rucks is at a four or five seconds
39:39you want it under three
39:43nice hands kind of going backwards here
39:46hardy walsh tipperick steps inside defenders he can't runs into a white shirt
39:58hardy and tom florence trying to get past all new color
40:04party down that blind side to jack walsh here's boshoff cassandy
40:09just didn't quite have the room to get away he's very quick here's williams to tipperick
40:14and he pulls him behind that attacking line
40:24phillips lewis the space now here's morris carried really well today for the ospreys
40:32punching through white shirts beautiful line from garon phillips continuing his good form
40:38from the bulls last week ulster almost getting on the ball but here they go again
40:43and running into trouble as lewis lloyd who's looked lively indeed when he's had ball in hand
40:51knock on mike larry flew in there to grab the ball he makes a knock on onto lewis
40:56lloyd who dipped the shoulder yeah he is a brave man mike lorry for not being the biggest okay
41:05no one he'd be afraid of here we are it's a great shot great shot on six
41:13he's a hooker playing six even worse he's a big hooker though he's he's over six foot
41:21but he's over 16 still you just think that ulster looked pretty comfortable defending it was only
41:26until james huntbury shot out the line the hole opened up the ospreys were able to play outside
41:32him exactly a little bit of an experience there james he just needs to stay connected
41:39with that defensive line if you're gonna shoot you have to be 100 percent andy farrell always said
41:44it if you're gonna shoot the line man on ball 100 percent not 98 not 99 especially our team
41:50set up now to attack with a pod out the back you know the tip is short put it behind guys
41:57see it all the time don't you players just rush of blood shoot out the line and if they miss the
42:02time if they hit the tackle and they make it that's great but if they miss it there's often
42:08line breaks another youngster coming on one of the old guard going off just in tip
42:20hasn't seen a barber in 30 years coach more of you for different reasons guys wait patient
42:29okay share that you didn't say by thomas
42:31is
42:49yeah so many youngsters now on this ospreys bench have been introduced
42:53the orith scott reese thomas on his debut dan germaine on his ospreys debut
42:59tom florence just 21 years of age it has been tough for this osprey team you can see the clear
43:05difference in power but it's good experience for these players you know the first shot they've got
43:10a play on a quality team like ulster away white dan edwards is back on for jack walsh he's off
43:17with an hia they were with scott and hardy now for phillips for dan edwards and williams gets
43:26hit hard by stockdale turn the ball over
43:35cormac is a chute route scott wilson
43:44right inside line dope for humphries again that quick task stockdale great hands
43:52off this artificial turf
43:56joke again tag macaroy the medical joker ulster down several hookers james humphries
44:04oh he's got a lot of height on that reese priestland style height
44:10and ray goes down on the ball morris is over it in comes carson
44:15kind of laying his weight on nathan doke into the space what a clever little kick by nathan doke
44:21and cormac is a chukwu on the chase with dan edwards who scoops the ball up cormac is a
44:28chukwu hunts him down he's picked up an injury as well i think a boot to the head maybe accidentally
44:35it looked like in the referee brings proceedings to a halt
44:38stay down please stay down time off very fortuitous there from nathan doke
44:45it's one of those ones if you don't get back on the end of it you know you can stay down you can
44:49almost hear them in the coach's box going mad but he got his foot to it and put it through and what
44:54a chase as well from cormac as a chukwu he's a really good referee as well
44:59this is a deliberate trip
45:13oh it's an elbow thing yeah completely accidental from dan edwards
45:25it was like something you'd see in wwa actually it wasn't the elbow drop on the head but a
45:28completely accidental okay yeah i was just thinking mma guys you take your accidental
45:33elbow to the heads almost split right away
45:39well a break on the ospreys line craig gilroy who's your blood replacement of the match
45:45and why my player of the match certainly cormac is a chukwu was in contention who we just talked
45:53i thought he has been magnificent tonight after some time away with emerging ireland
45:58really really impressed him tonight but my player of the match
46:04has to go to it kills me to give it to another winger it kills me has to go to jacob stockdale
46:12he has been super tonight should have had a hat trick might still get one two tries i thought
46:19he's been good defensively as well in the air he's been involved hungry hasn't he looked hungry
46:26he's been decisive in the decision making yes he's been really physical i think he'd be gutted
46:32though finest try he scored tonight was chalked off for a forward pass tears rolling down craig
46:39gilroy's cheeks giving up prayer of the match to a winner here's morris no he deserves it
46:45he's played very well of course hardy
46:57ethan lewis 14 appearances for the welsh under-20s a while ago now though stop 20
47:03into space giving straight back to ulster from dan edwards is he going to carve his way through
47:10hardy makes the tackle duke does well to stay on his feet
47:16ospreys are still working incredibly hard huge credit for them in defense
47:25then only normal the first infringement is i'm sure we'll be impressed with the way his side
47:30kept on going despite being a rear guard fight for most of the match
47:41robo i've been so impressed with ulster's bench you know you don't know how long you're going to
47:46get and you have to make the most of what time you do get callum reed nathan doke james humphries
47:52been really really impressed with him you need your bench to make an impact
48:00you can't just rely on the 15
48:09edwards to sunday into the middle of that back line now max nagji a 25 year old swansea university
48:22jameen goes through the middle good run by the young replacement
48:26edwards again tackle scott wilson bumps wilson off in fact harry
48:33sheridan who is yellow carded might have been a red referee decided yellow williams
48:40and jones lovely hands again
48:46getting a bit messy now losing shape and structure boshoff scott wilson looking to turn the ball
48:52over here almost got his hands on him down please no talking okay thanks off feet he's off his feet
49:01close but not close enough
49:02last couple of minutes
49:23ospreys lost in the quarters last season 23-7 the monster at tolman
49:28having missed the knockout stages for the last couple of seasons
49:31wait a second he made the knockouts of max's one from the lions guys
49:39monster three home wins their next home game in the urc is against lenster november the 29th
49:45there's a gap after their away game against cardiff next week for the november internationals
49:51and a poor line out throw from ethan lewis the entire line out getting confused james humphries
49:57again as the confidence to whip that pass away and carson finds stockdale morgan's after it too
50:03so to carson good work from tom florence got across really well there hardy edwards nearly
50:14charged down by sheridan and that could turn out to be a quite magical kick
50:20oh
50:23morgan he wants to play this
50:26and ulster wants to get it away which they do but they might go quickly here
50:31edwards to nagy takes on humphries beats him
50:40well ulster through lay get onto the ball great breakdown work at last
50:44what did you say nearly a spectacular 50 22 yes yeah inches away you need to stop and kick out
50:53just needed a way a bit more juice and that's it
50:59that'll do for ulster very happy with their evening's work two
51:03tries for jacob stockdale could have been a hat-trick at one
51:06been a hat-trick at one chalk off but uh ulster have seen a great return to form by this man
51:13last season and this 10 tries last season and already has three tries this season james mccormick
51:22making a huge contribution as well with a couple of tries one from a driving ball one from a
51:29take and go which was too easily conceded by the ospreys but let's remember this osprey side
51:35missing 40 of their squad 18 players unavailable for various reasons a number of them
51:42thoroughbred welsh internationals like adam beard and dally lake and jack morgan final score
51:49here at the kingspan stadium ulster with a try bonus point success beating the ospreys by 36 points
51:56to 12
