Edwards gives Gatland a little to think about

A TERRIFIC effort from Ospreys should have seen victory and it was rough justice that high-flying Cardiff escaped with an undeserved draw.

- ROGER PANTING

Ospreys had to overcome the loss of James Fender, in the 38th minute for a croc roll on Dan Thomas but remained the better team to have their opponents hanging on grimly at the death on this New Year's Day clash.

Ospreys head coach Mark Jones, said: "We are frustrated that we didn't take those opportunities at the end. Last week against Scarlets we nailed them, this week we didn't.

"We also blew a number of chances in the first half when individuals made rash decisions." Despite their profligacy, Ospreys were able to maintain their impressive record against Cardiff and there is no doubt that they continue to have a raw deal in terms of national selection.
