Ospreys claw sloppy Stormers
Today at 04:32 PM
Ospreys came from behind to claim a bonus-point victory and hand the DHL Stormers a season-opening defeat in Bridgend on Saturday.
A last-minute penalty try from a driving maul and 15 points from the boot of flyhalf Dan Edwards sealed a 37-24 comeback win for the Ospreys.
The Stormers were quickest out of the blocks in the first match of their Vodacom URC campaign, opening up a 13-3 lead thanks to an early try from Leolin Zas and two penalties from Jurie Matthee.
Matthee added a penalty, while Damian Willemse slotted a drop goal in the second half, before JD Schickerling scored a late try to give the Stormers hope of snatching a win, but Ospreys made the most of a late penalty, forming a driving maul and earning a penalty try.
The Stormers will look to bounce back and get the first win of their campaign against Zebre – who stunned 2023 champions Munster – in Italy.
