Holley says regions must step up

Sean Holley insists all the pressure is on the Ospreys' Welsh rivals to deliver this season.
Holley was No2 to former Ospreys boss Lyn Jones when they lifted two Celtic League titles and the Anglo-Welsh Cup in five years.

But he has turned the tables on the Llanelli Scarlets, Cardiff Blues and Newport Gwent Dragons with just one Magners League success - the Scarlets in 2004 - between them.

Holley said: "The Ospreys have little to prove this season, the pressure is on the other regions.

"We have won trophies and this year provided an unprecedented 14 players to the Grand Slam. That's something we are very proud of.

"I think with the big signings other regions have made and the lack of silverware, all the pressure is elsewhere this season."
