Wild scenes inside Ospreys dressing room as hero prop leads celebrations

These were the wonderful scenes inside the Ospreys dressing room after the Welsh region beat English champions Leicester Tigers 27-26 in their own back yard to reach the knockout stages of the European Champions Cup for the first time in 13 years.

Central to the victory was unheralded young prop Rhys Henry, who came on in the second half to deliver a monstrous scrum performance. He replaced Tom Botha, who had been pinged at the scrum which gave Leicester the penalty to go 23-20 ahead.

"It just shows how close we are as a group. We're close-knitted and everyone plays for each other as a team.

"It's a reflection of how each of us work for one another. We never give up."
