After a fantastic season culminating with a superb BP win against Cardiff in the Judgement Day game last week, attention now turns to the URC Top 8 Playoff Quarter-final against Munster at Thomond Park on Friday night. In their previous URC meeting at the .com stadium, Munster ran out 27-17 winners so they will fancy their chances on their home patch. However, this is a one off game, the Ospreys have previous for winning knockout rugby matches and anything can happen on the day.
The game, like the previous encounter, will be refereed by Hollie Davidson and we must hope that she has a better all round game than she did last time out. I don't foresee too many changes to the squad although Jack Walsh may be recalled if fit. I do wonder if James Fender may be considered if he is fit enough?

Every time we regain possession through good defence, or at lineout time , we kick the ball back to the opposition. We simply have to try something else. We will never beat these top sides by constantly giving them the ball. We were never on the attack at any time in the second half because we gave Munster the ball constantly.
