Couldn’t be at there for @ospreys Game Day 1 last night but fantastic to see and hear it was such a success despite dreadful conditions.
So much hard work has gone on over the last 4 months to make this doable, so many minor miracles achieved.
This is just the start 👏🏻🙌🏻
Newcastle flanker Ollie Leatherbarrow the one uncapped player in the Scotland squad.
Born in Macclesfield, he is eligible through his grandmother being from Perth.
Also Welsh-qualified with his mother’s side of the family hailing from Swansea.

In a strange way, the wild weather actually added to the whole occasion at St Helen’s last night.
If the new ground and Ospreys supporters can survive that, they can survive anything.
The atmosphere was very special.
Here’s my report.

🏉🐦⬛🤩Head coach Mark Jones paid tribute to “a proper Ospreys performance” as his team celebrated their St Helen’s homecoming with a 31-14 bonus point victory over the Dragons.
It was the Ospreys’ first game back at the newly redeveloped Swansea ground after some 20 years away and they marked the occasion in style, with Wales squad scrum-half Reuben Morgan-Williams scoring two of their five tries.
They were dominant up front and far more clinical than the Dragons who also suffered through indiscipline, having three players yellow carded on a wild, wet and windy night amid Storm Boelo.
