New Season, New Coach, Same old Ospreys...



The fans were leaving long before the end of the latest Magners League match against Heineken Cup winners Leinster. The visitors were efficient enough in defence to allow the pressure to grow on the Ospreys, and Sexton's boot did the rest. The fundementals of the Ospreys game seem solid enough, although perhaps they could be accused of lacking some depth in attack, but overall the error count suggests that the team still lacks a collective will. Perhaps the wounds of last year's Heineken exit will take some time to heal, and new boy Scott Johnson's methods likewise need some time to bed down. Unfortunately, in the professional world, this star studded squad has to deliver. Time may be the only thing they can't buy.
