Ospreys out of Europe after 9-20 defeat to Northampton

A comprehensive win by Northampton ensured Ospreys elimination from the Champions Cup, with tries from Calum Clark and Welshman George North giving the English side a Pool 5 decider with Racing Metro.

Despite impressive form in the Pro12, the side who had not lost at home at the Liberty all season struggled against the visitors from the start, with a series of errors gifting Northampton points. Both tries scored by Clark and North were the result of a charge down and a dropped ball respectively.

Osprey's only points of the match came through three Dan Biggar penalties and despite late pressure, the away side held on to win.
