These were the wonderful scenes inside the Ospreys dressing room after the Welsh region beat English champions Leicester Tigers 27-26 in their own back yard to reach the knockout stages of the European Champions Cup for the first time in 13 years.

"It's a reflection of how each of us work for one another. We never give up."
