Jubilant Treviso stun Ospreys

Tom Isaacs' try and the boot of Dan Biggar appeared to have given the Welsh region victory but the hosts launched a late comeback with 14 unanswered points in the final five minutes.

First Alessandro Zanni crossed the whitewash following a sustained period of pressure and the Italians completed their miraculous recovery with Pratichetti's intervention with just five seconds to spare.

Ospreys had no chance of qualifying for the knockout stages of the Heineken or Amlin Challenge Cup but were determined to finish a promising European campaign on a high.

Treviso put the first points on the board with a Kris Burton penalty after four minutes, but Biggar kicked two quick penalties in reply to give Ospreys the lead.

Kahn Fotuali'i powered over and Biggar added a drop goal before Isaacs appeared to put the game to bed with his try.

But Treviso eventually broke through when Zanni powered over to set up a tense finale. And with their tails up, Treviso rampaged up field with Giulio Toniolatti and Valerio Bernabo both prominent in the build-up to Pratichetti's match-winning score at the death.

After the defeat Ospreys coach Jonathan Humphreys, said: "It is disappointing to lose and let it slip like that but sometimes that's the way it goes. We ran out of petrol. We gave our all but just couldn't hang on.

"I'm not going to criticise the young players, they have been great through the competition for us. We didn't get the result but they stepped up and delivered again."
