Holley: 'Worst 60 minutes of rugby'
Mon, 08 Mar 2010 17:15
Ospreys coach Sean Holley was bitterly disappointed with the 33-17 defeat his side suffered at the hands of Edinburgh in the Magners League.
Dutch wing Tim Visser was the destroyer-in-chief for Edinburgh scoring the fastest ever hat-trick of tries in the Magners League.
The result means that Edinburgh now leapfrog the Ospreys into second place, with both sides very much still in the running for a berth in the play-offs.
"This afternoon we saw probably the worst 60 minutes of rugby we have played as Ospreys. It was a very disjointed performance, some players were rusty but there are no excuses and we cannot take anything away from Edinburgh," Holley said.
"We had no territory in the first half, and although we defended well, the scoreboard meant that we chased the game a bit too early and gifted Edinburgh with some easy tries from turnovers in their half. All credit to the opposition for finishing them well.
"This result shows how tight the league is but we must perform better if we are to even contemplate a play-off place.
"We expect better from ourselves here at the Ospreys and we feel we have let ourselves down. We will regroup ahead of our next match and make the necessary improvements."
