Wales' Grand Slam stars made a victorious Millennium Stadium return as the Ospreys booked their second successive EDF Energy Cup final appearance against English heavyweights Leicester with a resounding 30-3 victory over Saracens.

Ospreys paraded nine of the Wales side that took Grand Slam and RBS 6 Nations title honours by beating France in Cardiff last weekend.

But they had to work just as hard before subduing Saracens in a dress rehearsal for next month's Heineken Cup quarter-final clash between the teams at Vicarage Road.

Wing wizard Shane Williams, Wales' record Test try-scorer, put the Ospreys on their way with a crucial touchdown just before half-time.

Williams and company, though, were unable to impose their glittering running game on dogged, well-organised opponents, and they could not breathe easily until centre Gavin Henson stormed over after 50 minutes.

Replacement back-row forward Filo Tiatia added a third touchdown that finally buckled Saracens' resistance, then Williams claimed his second try in typically audacious fashion.

Fly-half James Hook added two penalties and two conversions, booking a Twickenham appointment with the Tigers on April 12 who had earlier defeated Wasps 34-24.

Andy Goode scored one try, created another and kicked 14 points to book the defending champions a date at Twickenham and end Leicester's poor run against Wasps in knockout rugby.

The Tigers had never beaten Wasps on neutral territory, having lost at Twickenham in last season's Heineken Cup final and in the 2005 Guinness Premiership final.

But after working a narrow half-time lead, they pulled clear with tries from Seru Rabeni, the excellent Dan Hipkiss and Martin Castrogiovanni.

Cipriani and Paul Sackey carried the Wasps fight with two tries each - the former's second coming late in the day when the game was already up - and they now face a major battle to qualify for next season's Heineken Cup.
