Wales international Dan Biggar scored two late tries to earn the Ospreys a 22-16 pre-season victory at Guinness Premiership Gloucester yesterday.

The impressive Nikki Walker touched down for the visitors before Gloucester wing Charlie Sharples scored a brace.

Ospreys pair Filo Tiatia and Walker were sinbinned but when Walker returned his burst set up Biggar for his first try which the young fly-half converted.

Ospreys head coach Sean Holley said: “There was much to admire out there today from both teams, I thought. It was a good pre-season match.

“Both teams used about 28 players – you are going to get an ebb and flow, aren’t you?

“So the outcomes for both teams will be what they will be, but for us the boys have had a good blast, a good hit-out, some good physical opposition and I think in the end a win is just the cherry on the top.”
