Quick lineout goes horribly wrong for Ospreys' Rhys Webb

In a nightmare moment for Wales international Rhys Webb, Ospreys handed Saracens five easy points after a quick lineout back-fired with disastrous results for the Welsh side at the StoneX.

With just 11 minutes left on the clock in the Ospreys Heineken Champions Cup Round of 16 clash with Saracens and with the Welsh region trailing by just three points, scrumhalf Webb opted for a risky throw-in to catch their opponents off-guard.

The quickly hatched plan backfired spectacularly however, as Duncan Taylor, who had just come on as a substitute, read the throw perfectly and snatched the ball out of the air. Taylor then dashed towards the try line, scoring a try that all but sealed the victory for the home side.

The Ospreys were left stunned and reeling from the costly mistake, which effectively ended their hopes of advancing in the competition.

A quick line-out nightmare ?

Sure enough Saracens scored again through Tom Woolstencroft, a try which was converted by England ace Owen Farrell, which was enough to see the home side advance to the Heineken Champions Cup quarter-finals on a 35-20 scoreline.
