Jac Morgan's 90th minute try snatched a dramatic victory for the Ospreys against Leicester Tigers at Welford Road that sealed their place in the Champions Cup knockout stages.

Toby Booth's side headed into the clash knowing that the worst-case scenario would be a place in the Challenge Cup last 16, but the chance of qualifying for the knockout stages of Europe's top-tier competition for the first time since 2010 was a far more enticing prospect.

A losing bonus point would have been enough, with tries from Dewi Lake and Keelan Giles setting that up, only for Morgan's grandstand finish to cap another fine European performance for the Ospreys and keep up their hopes of a home last 16 tie.

Having been drawn against the champions of France and England, they go through, remarkably, with three wins from four. South Africa fly-half Handre Pollard had opened the scoring for Leicester with a penalty after just four minutes.
