Head Coach, Mark Jones, said: “We’re looking forward to this one. Ospreys v Scarlets is always a massive fixture and for it to be the first time the teams have faced each other in the knockout rounds of an EPCR competition, it adds an extra edge.
“We’re expecting a big crowd on the weekend, which is brilliant. We know our supporters will get behind the boys and be our 16th man, which is what Welsh derbies are all about.”
