Blues players have decided to generously give the Ospreys all the possession in this game.

Very nice of them.

 

Some good hands in the build up of that 3rd try

Pretty dominate display by the Ospreys tbh. Should've scored more but gave away a lot of pens and knock ons. Blues.....sums the game up when cuthbert gets the ball for the first time on 67 minutes.
