Alun Wyn Jones reveals his anger as Ospreys slump to timid Heineken Cup defeat against Leinster Never mind the European future of the Ospreys being threatened by an English and French breakaway, in the short term it is the mess within their own game plan that means their Heineken Cup could be over barely after it has started. The Welsh region could not even muster a bonus point against Leinster and afterwards they were not in the mood to seek positives. Indeed, their captain, Alun Wyn Jones, was frank to the point of being brutal in his assessment and, judging by his despondency, the Gallic contracts which have been dangled in front of him must be more tempting than ever. To have any chance they must prevail at Franklin's Garden on Sunday and seeing as they have not won on the road in the Heineken Cup for almost four years, Jones should be forgiven his pessimism. Can we go to Northampton next week and win to get back into this competition? If we play like that, probably not," said the second-rower. It's the same old story for us - we haven't started very well in the Heineken Cup. This was our first home game to start with for a long time and we haven't made the most of it. We should all be angry. This is the 28-year-old's ninth Heineken Cup and in that time they have only made three quarter-finals. Even after the departure of so many big names in the last three years, the region were still able to field five British and Irish Lions in their pack. But Leinster, boasting three of their own in the forwards, gave them a lesson in handling the big occasion. "We were a little more battle-hardened and a little bit nastier," said Leinster coach Matt O'Connor. In truth, they were a great deal more savvy. After spurning the chance to make it 9-3, the Ospreys conceded a penalty on the five-metre scrum line and, within 90 seconds, Sean O'Brien was scoring the game's only try. Add this to Jimmy Gopperth's 14 points, the robust Leinster defence plus the wastefulness of the home side and the win was rather easily earned. O'Connor was more generous to the Ospreys, saying they had "given us a great game." This would have been a relief to Leinster's new coach as the province's injury list made it a daunting trip. He is confident that Brian O'Driscoll will return for their home match against Castres on Saturday.
