Ospreys paraded nine of the Wales side that took Grand Slam and RBS 6 Nations title honours by beating France in Cardiff last weekend.

But they had to work just as hard before subduing Saracens in a dress rehearsal for next month's Heineken Cup quarter-final clash between the teams at Vicarage Road.

Wing wizard Shane Williams, Wales' record Test try-scorer, put the Ospreys on their way with a crucial touchdown just before half-time.

Williams and company, though, were unable to impose their glittering running game on dogged, well-organised opponents, and they could not breathe easily until centre Gavin Henson stormed over after 50 minutes.

Replacement back-row forward Filo Tiatia added a third touchdown that finally buckled Saracens' resistance, then Williams claimed his second try in typically audacious fashion.

Williams, recently-crowned Six Nations player of the tournament, has now scored eight tries in his last five games.

Fly-half James Hook added two penalties and two conversions, booking a Twickenham appointment with the Tigers on April 12 and an opportunity to avenge last season's 41-35 defeat.
