Jerry Collins impressed with his industry and commitment

The Ospreys impressed in their first pre-season game as they eased to victory at Swansea's Liberty Stadium.

Jon Vaughton and summer signing Barry Davies scored first-half tries, Davies, Dan Biggar, Gareth Owen and Nikki Walker looking especially sharp behind.

Jamie Nutbrown and Ben Lewis marked their return from injury with second-half tries, Sonny Parker also crossing.

Major summer signing Jerry Collins came off the bench at half-time, impressing with his industry and commitment.

Headlines were stolen by Gavin Henson, though, with a statement on the Ospreys' website announcing that the controversial star hopes to return 'before too long'.
