Great defence from Ulster holds out Ospreys pressure as the hosts come in off their feet at a ruck inside the five metre line.

Jack Murphy launches the penalty almost to the halfway line.

Hooker Sam Parry makes a break through the Ulster defence but it was his and his team-mates' work at the scrum that earns them a penalty.

It was a long old advantage from Filippo Russo! Ospreys into the 22.

Another kick into the corner, this time from Jack Murphy, can't be controlled by the other Ward brother Bryn as he ends up volleying it over the dead ball line.

It was lovely handling from Ulster before that as they stretched the hosts from coast to coast.

As we've seen at the Brewery Field a few times this season, a sea of mobile phone torches come on in the 11th minute in protest of Ospreys owners Y11 Sport and Media and their bid to takeover rivals Cardiff.

Jude Postlethwaite wins a brilliant midfield turnover at the ruck and, from the penalty, Jack Murphy makes great ground.

Ospreys carved open the Ulster defence on their first visit to the 22.

Ross Moriarty trucked it up to the line and from then it was all about the speed of ball.

What a start for Cormac Foley on his first Ospreys start.

A crunching hit in midfield from Jude Postlethwaite - that'll waken the game up!

Wales prop Gareth Thomas' reward for "begging" to be released from Steve Tandy's Six Nations squad will be a 150th Ospreys appearance tonight.

Thomas will run out in Bridgend aiming to prove a point after dropping down the Wales pecking order.

"I was pretty much begging Steve [Tandy] last week if I can come back to play my 150th game at home in front of my family so I'm really excited for it," said Thomas.

"It (his time with Ospreys) has flown, but I'm quite proud to achieve that. If you look at my position, who has achieved that?

"There are only three or four top-end loose-heads who have done it so to be in that group is class in a club that I love as well. It's a proud moment for me."

Centre Owen Watkin, flanker Harri Deaves and scrum-half Reuben Morgan-Williams also return to Ospreys having been released by Wales for URC duties this weekend.

Watkin joins Thomas in the starting XV with Deaves and Morgan-Williams on the bench.

Ospreys: Hopkins; Kasende, Watkin, K Williams, Giles; Walsh, Foley; G Thomas, Parry, Henry, Fender, R Smith, Ratti, Moriarty, Morse.

Replacements: L Lloyd, S Thomas, Botha, Sutton, Deaves, Morgan-Williams, Scully, Boshoff.

There was a big shock in Galway thanks to Sean Jansen's last-gasp try to secure a win for Connacht against the league leaders Glasgow.

The Scottish side had hoped to widen the cushion at the summit following second-placed Leinster's defeat by Cardiff on Friday, but instead fell to their first loss in 10 games.

After two second-half tries from Scotland wing Kyle Rowe, the Irish province snatched a much-needed win when Jansen crashed over the line with the final play of the match.

Glasgow remain four points clear of Leinster while Connacht move up to ninth with their fourth win of the season.
