Leicester, the defending champions, had taken an early lead with a penalty and drop goal from Andy Goode before Hook, Marty Holah, Filo Tiatia and the Ospreys took charge.

Andrew Bishop and Alun-Wyn Jones scored either side of half-time as Wales' glamour region buried the disappointment of last weekend's Heineken Cup quarter-final defeat at Saracens.

Leicester's urgency and physicality at the breakdown made it hard for the Ospreys to settle in the early stages and after Goode missed a long-range kick from his own half he pushed Leicester 6-0 ahead with a penalty and a drop goal.

Hook missed two of this three goal attempts in the first half but with the ball in hand he was a constant threat.

The Ospreys did not have long to wait for the opening try as Hook found Bishop on the switch ball.

The Wales Under-21 international powered through tackles from Goode and George Chuter and had enough momentum to hold off Aaron Mauger and Tuilagi to score by the posts with Hook slotting over the conversion.

The Ospreys continued in the same vein after the restart with another break from Lee Byrne splitting the Leicester defence and Hook sent Alun-Wyn Jones plundering over for the second try.

Hook's conversion from wide right was masterful and he scored two more penalties to end the contest.
