Glasgow coach Danny Wilson takes positives from defeat to Ospreys

Glasgow head coach Danny Wilson believes his new-look side will learn valuable lessons from their 23-15 defeat by Ospreys despite his huge frustration over losing a commanding lead.

Tries from Huw Jones and George Turner put Warriors in control inside the first quarter in Swansea but they failed to build on their advantage.

Wilson was without a number of experienced internationals and hopes his young players benefit from the occasion.

“I think we were so close on so many occasions, only to spill the ball and then be defending inside our own half,” Wilson said on his club’s official website.

“It’s a very new group with some new combinations, so it might take some time.

“To go from being comfortable to coming away with nothing is disappointing. We’ll take a lot of lessons from that game as a group, though.

“I thought Jamie Dobie did some excellent work at scrum-half, and showed real composure as a 19-year-old.

“Hamish Bain fronted really well on his debut – he’s still a second-rower who’s developing and he had to play a lot more than we perhaps wanted him to due to no second-row cover, and I thought he did very well.

“The game time and experience will serve these young players well in the long run.”
