The Ospreys ( Welsh : Y Gweilch ), formerly the Neath-Swansea Ospreys ( Gweilch Tawe-Nedd ), are a rugby union team from Wales, playing in the Celtic League , EDF Energy Cup and the Heineken Cup / European Challenge Cup . At the start of the 2005-2006 season, they dropped Neath and Swansea from their name to become simply the Ospreys, although the company is still Neath-Swansea Ospreys.The Ospreys won the Celtic League during the 2006/2007 season, topping the league by a single point and taking the title with an away win at Borders. Winning the Celtic League for a second time meant the Ospreys were the first team to have won the Celtic League twice. In February 2008, the Ospreys provided 13 of the starting line-up for Wales in their Six Nations match against England, setting a new record for the number of players from one region playing for their national side.
