Ospreys Snatch Dramatic Overtime Victory Against Glasgow Warriors in United Rugby Championship

Ospreys clinched a thrilling 32-31 win over Glasgow Warriors in the United Rugby Championship, with Jack Walsh's decisive penalty in overtime sealing the victory.

Ospreys delivered a stunning performance to overcome reigning champions Glasgow Warriors 32-31 in a dramatic United Rugby Championship encounter, thanks to Jack Walsh's clutch penalty in overtime.

The visitors started strong, with Morgan Morse, Kieran Hardy, and Sam Perry crossing the line early to establish a commanding lead. However, three missed conversions by Dan Edwards allowed Glasgow to claw their way back into the game. Jack Mann, Patrick Schickerling (with a double), and Facundo Cordero scored crucial tries for the hosts, despite a response from Keelan Giles.

The second half saw Glasgow take the lead for the first time through Cordero, but Hardy’s try restored Ospreys' advantage. Nathan McBeth’s try and Duncan Weir’s conversion seemed to have secured the win for Glasgow, until Walsh stepped up to land the decisive penalty after a late turnover.

Key Moments:

  • Early Dominance: Ospreys capitalized on rolling mauls to score three unanswered tries in the first 17 minutes.
  • Glasgow Fightback: Mann and Schickerling broke through the Welsh defense to get Glasgow back in contention.
  • Late Drama: Cordero’s 73rd-minute try gave Glasgow the lead, but Hardy’s quick response and Walsh’s penalty sealed the win.

What They Said:

Franco Smith, Glasgow Warriors head coach: "We showed character to come back, but we’ll learn from this defeat."

Mark Jones, Ospreys head coach: "It was a rollercoaster, but we knew we had to be at our best against the champions."

Glasgow Warriors: Hastings, Cancelliere, Smith, Munn, Cordero, Weir, Afshar, Schickerling, Stewart, Richardson, Oguntibeju, Samuel, Ferrie, Venter, Mann. Replacements: Matthews, McBeth, Talakai, Du Preez, Miller, Fraser, Kennedy, Johnston.
