**The Ospreys kept their Heineken Champions Cup qualification hopes alive with a thrilling 54-36 victory over the Scarlets in Swansea.** Nicky Smith, Morgan Morris, Keelan Giles, Dewi Lake (2), Michael Collins, Owen Watkin and Sam Parry touched down and Gareth Anscombe kicked 14 points, with the Ospreys piling on 40 points in the second half. Ryan Conbeer was unfortunate to be on the losing side after running in a hat-trick for the visitors, with Gareth Davies and Kieran Hardy also going over. The Ospreys are now five points behind the Scarlets with a game in hand, with the winners of the Welsh Shield qualifying for next season’s Champions Cup. Edinburgh's losing bonus point against Ulster later on Saturday evening ended both teams' play-off hopes in the overall table.
