Leicester Tigers trailed Ospreys 26-15 at half-time of today's Heineken Cup Pool 3 game at Welford Road.

Johne Murphy opened the scoring with a second minute try and Billy Twelvetrees, on his Tigers debut, scored the final points of the half with a try that he converted.

In between, Ospreys hit back with 26 unanswered points during a 20 minute spell midway through the half. Shane Williams and Tommy Bowe crossed for a try each and fly-half Dan Biggar added two conversions, three penalties and a drop goal.

Twelvetrees was one of four late changes for Tigers. He came in for Dan Hipkiss, while Anthony Allen, James Grindal and Lucas Amorosino came in for Aaron Mauger, Harry Ellis and Matt Smith respectively.
