After a brilliant win against Perpignan, the Ospreys must now begin preparation for their visit to South Africa to face the Lions in the 4th and final pool round of the Challenge Cup.
With progress to the knockout stages already confirmed, a victory would almost certainly give us a home quarterfinal tie but given the injury list, this could be a case of struggling to field a 23 man squad.
Here is a potential squad of who is fit -
G Thomas Cam Jones S Parry E Lewis T Botha B Warren A Beard L Jones A Ashton J Ratti M Morse W Hickey L Llloyd
L Davies C Jones D Edwards J Walsh K Giles O Watkin K Williams M Protheroe I Hopkins G North
Discuss.
Who was the official man of the match? I thought that Owen Watkin had a great game as did Kieran Williams when he came on. Back row were also very good.
I never thought we would win this one, I think I underestimate the never give in attitude of these young players which is awesome. Da iawn Bois da iawn.😃
Interesting presser from Booth. Character beat talent today. Said we were inaccurate during the game but the will not to be beaten is just so strong. I thought Tristan Davies had a huge impact and Walsh is a good 10 to have when chasing the game.
So after Bayonne beat Exeter, we play Sale.
Bayonne 26-7 up at half so looking like Sale
Fantastic performance, I didn't think we were capable of that, with the squads that were selected by both teams' but pleased to be proved wrong, the tactical nous of our Coaches was spot on, roll on round of 16.
Immense win. There's a great spirit in the squad and it's been a really enjoyable season so far.
A great win against all the odds what we lacked in physicality we made up for in fitness and determination.
Hang on guys got that wrong Racing have qualified for champions cup so at moment drop out are Sale 1 Connacht 2 Ulster 3 Bayonne 4 but Bayonne could go to 1 tonight so at moment it is Connacht but could be Sale if Bayonne win. Apologies
Just checked the Swans fixtures and they are away on the 6th of April so the Swansea.com stadium is free.
Bugger it.
I give up with the calculator.
Whoever we face won't fancy coming to Swansea.
If and it is a rather large if, Sale finish on 6 points with a better points differential than Connacht who also have 6 points so Sale would be ranked 9 and Connacht 10.
Well I didn't expect that. What a game. We found a way. Some well deserved celebrations tonight I'm sure!
I think it will be Connacht at home.
Truly incredible. Stuck at it and blew them away with our fitness in final 10. Thought Tristan Davies made huge impact and thanks to a really decent TMO
By my reckoning we will be the 7th ranked team with a home knock out tie against one of the Champions Cup dropouts
Brilliant. Well done boys, and that includes Booth and the coaches!
OLE OLE OLE
28-36 with the conversion to come.
There will be a restart.
28-38
Home knockout tie here we come.
