Ospreys miss out on Europe but Ulster are headed for the play-offs

A 46-26 defeat saw Ospreys fail to qualify for the European Champions Cup next season, while victorious Ulster secured their place in the Guinness Pro12 play-offs in an entertaining 10-try match at the Liberty Stadium.

Ulster will now have to go to Connacht in the Pro12 semi-final while it is back to the drawing board for Ospreys, who have never previously failed to qualify for the top tier of European competition.
