Ospreys bury below-par Connacht’s Champions Cup qualification hopes

Connacht’s slim Champions Cup qualification hopes were ended in Swansea as Kieran Keane’s side were beaten 39-10 by the Ospreys.

Tries from Jeff Hassler, Dan Evans, Scott Otten, Ashley Beck, Hanno Dirksen and 14 points from the boot of Dan Biggar, on his final home appearance for the Welsh region, was enough to see off Connacht. The province are now 13 points behind fourth placed Cardiff Blues with only two games remaining.

This was a desperately poor performance from the visitors who were outmuscled and ran out of ideas very easily.
