The gargantuan second-row put in quite a performance for the Ospreys tonight, showing that he is still more than capable of putting in a massive shift around the field, even in the latter end of his career. He was majestic in the lineout and powerful in the maul, giving Warren Gatland more incentive to have him as one of the first names on his Lions team sheet next Summer. The former Lions captain showed some other elements to his game tonight as he broke the line and carried well, as well as putting in a couple of deft offloads, keeping the ball alive for his teammates. The Ospreys scrum was the main difference between the sides today and Jones was definitely a crucial cog in that machine, pushing powerfully behind his front row. The man of the match award he received was completely deserved.
James Short
Ian Keatley
Keatley shone through for Munster in their narrow victory against Glasgow. The outhalf had a superb performance, slotting 3/3 from the tee as well as setting up Andrew Conway's try with a perfect cross-field kick. To top off his Man of the Match performance, Keatley secured Munster's victory with a successful drop goal attempt in the dying minutes of the fixtures.
