Ospreys battled to a 24-24 bonus-point draw with Lions in the United Rugby Championship, ending a traumatic week. Tries from Ratti, Hopkins, Morse, and Kasende were matched by Lions scores from F Horn, PJ Botha, and Q Horn. Dan Edwards missed a late penalty for the win.

The match followed shocking news that Ospreys owners Y11 Sport and Media are in talks to buy Welsh rivals Cardiff. This threatens Ospreys' professional future beyond 2027, creating panic among players and staff. Coach Mark Jones' side handled the situation professionally in atrocious conditions.

Lions remain seventh in the URC, while Ospreys rose one spot to eighth, into the play-off places. The game featured four sin-bins and a dangerous tackle from Wales hooker Dewi Lake, who escaped a red card. Despite the turmoil, Ospreys' season hopes remain alive.
