The Guinness Premiership leaders subsided to a 32-15 Pool Two defeat at the Liberty Stadium and had three players sin-binned.

"It was obviously frustrating. We started poorly, we allowed them to build an early lead and we were far too late getting into the physicality of the contest," said head Coach Ryan.

"I am frustrated we ended up playing with 13 men. If one of the yellow cards was for swearing, then it is something that needs application across the game.

"The word Narraway used was not personal, as far as I know, and I have not read a law about swearing. I just need some clarity.

"We have got to win next weekend, and if we do, then we will go through to the quarter-finals as pool winners.

"We have got to get a bit angry during the week, become a bit more focused and use this result as motivation."

Ospreys coach Lyn Jones said: "Justin Marshall was man of the match by a country mile. I was on my feet applauding too - it was one of the best individual performances we've ever seen at the Liberty Stadium.

"That was as satisfying as any other game we have played in the Heineken Cup. I thought we were the better side for 70 minutes, and we have now played ourselves into a position of having to go to France next weekend and win a game of rugby."

The Ospreys could end up going to Gloucester in the quarter-finals, especially if the west country club finish as top seeds, and Jones added: "Gloucester are a tough, quality outfit, and if we were to play them in the quarter-finals then it would be a hell of a game."
