So the Dragons are 8-0 up away to Ulster and the Ospreys are 17-0 up against Zebre. At the moment, Ospreys looking composed and competent against an admittedly poor Italian side.

Apparently so. Our shortly held lead didn't last long.

Ospreys are cruising mind. BP secured before half time.

Once Ulster stopped kicking the feckin ball away, they've been much better

3 good tries

(the jizz fest over Ruan Pienaar is understandable, but getting dull now)

Awful, simply awful. Ospreys look competent but the opposition is dire. Hopefully the Ospreys keep focused and run up a nice winning margin.

Just seen that highlight. I think that's the game gone for us now.

long way to go yet (half an hour) and a converted try would put you within 2 points

Half century for the Ospreys. After it looked like they had messed up, great run from Dan Evans sets up th try.

Try number 8 following some overly work by Tipuric.

Ospreys win 59-5. Some nice touches from the Ospreys but the context of a woeful opposition needs to be taken into account.

I watched the Ospreys as it was on bbc2 Wales. My internet is too slow to enjoy a match.

Be interesting to see how the Ospreys get on against decent opposition. I wasn't convinced by their performance tonight despite the scoreline.

O's looked good today, but the opposition were dire. Was nice too see them trying to play an open game but against a better opponent they will need to be more clinical and possession will be much harder to come by, but good all the same.

Argentina showed against S.A that if you can get good ball out wide and avoid contact you will cause all sort of problems.

Gatland over the last few years has thought very differently, but has now realised that this is why NZ have been so successful and also no-one wants to watch the crap that he's been serving up recently.

Even as an Ospreys fan I'm looking forward to watching the Scarlets backline this year, they could be magnificent!!

If the Scarlets back line can get the ball, I think they will do some damage.
