Ospreys v Leicester Tigers - as it happened
Tries from scrum-half Ben Youngs and winger Niall Morris helped to earn Leicester Tigers a crucial 15-15 Heineken Cup draw against the Ospreys at the Liberty Stadium yesterday.
The visitors, though, will be grateful that Ospreys' fly-half Dan Biggar was not at his peak.
-
He hit the woodwork with three penalties and pulled another one wide, also missing a late conversion attempt, which could have consigned Leicester to defeat in a pulsating tie.
10 min: Early penalty for Ospreys as Tigers are penalised at a scrum, but Biggar's kick hits the post.
