Defending champions Glasgow made it three wins from six matches in the new PRO12 season with a 31-19 triumph over struggling Ospreys.

The Warriors outscored their opponents four tries to one, with the hosts claiming a much-needed bonus point in the final minute through Taqele Naiyaravoro's score.

Sean Lamont, Greg Peterson and Alex Allen also crossed for Glasgow as Duncan Weir kicked 11 points, with Ospreys' response coming from Dan Baker's late try and 14 points from the boot of Wales' World Cup star Dan Biggar.

Ospreys actually led 9-8 at the interval but could not hold on as they saw both Josh Matavesi and Ryan Bevington sin binned at the start of the second period en route to a fifth defeat.

In the day's other action, Leinster moved into the top four with a comfortable 27-3 bonus point victory over Treviso in Italy.

The Irish side welcomed back their international stars following the World Cup, with fly-half Johnny Sexton making his first appearance after his return during the summer from Racing Metro.

Leinster made the ideal start when Jack McGrath went over after only three minutes, with Sexton adding the conversion.

But the Ireland star was then sin binned for an off-the-ball tackle after Jayden Hayward had scored what proved to be Treviso's only points with a penalty.
