Wales star James Hook kicked the Ospreys to victory with five penalties, but Leicester's losing bonus point meant they finished top of Pool Three.

Tigers look unlikely to secure a home quarter-final tie, though, while the Ospreys can now only progress as one of two best runners-up.

At the moment, they are handily placed, but games involving English clubs Wasps and Bath on Sunday could ultimately result in them being knocked out.

If the Ospreys survive, they could face an intriguing all-Welsh clash against Cardiff Blues in April.

All the Ospreys can do is play an agonising 24-hour waiting game, but Leicester have no such worries.

Derick Hougaard's penalty hat-trick proved sufficient to give them the point they required, as for the second time in Heineken Cup combat this season, Ospreys and Leicester played out a tryless game.

There was mixed news for the Ospreys involving two of their current Wales internationals, with full-back Lee Byrne ruled out through injury and lock Ian Gough agreeing a new two-year contract.

Byrne failed to recover in time from an ankle injury suffered last weekend, which will concern Wales boss Warren Gatland only a fortnight before his team launch their RBS 6 Nations title defence.
