The Ospreys got their campaign off to a winning start on Sunday when they travelled to Parc Eirias and came away with a 22-6 victory against RGC.
A try by winger Caine Woolerton gave the Ospreys an early lead but two penalties by fly half Armani Roberts put RGC in front after 25 minutes.
But tries by winger Dewi Cross (converted by Cai Evans) and Ben Cambriani gave the visitors a 17-6 lead at the break.
RGC managed to keep the attacked minded Ospreys at bay until Cambriani scored his second in the dying stages of the match to secure the bonus point victory.
In the other match of this round, Dragons host the Scarlets at Ystrad Mynach. (KO 7.15pm)
