Speaking ahead of the game, coach Richard Fussell said:
“It’s been a tricky one for us in the sense of this rearranged fixture, because we’ve had to bring in players we haven't had consistency working with in this competition. The players we’ve called up are good players and have performed well for their clubs and the academy sides all season so it’ll be a good test for them at this level.
“We’ve also got players coming back in from long-term injuries which gives everyone a boost. It’s a good mix and there are individuals in the 23 with senior Ospreys experience to provide the guidance for the younger players coming in from the academy or our Premiership clubs.
“We’ve had a really good training week, so hopefully the boys can turn up Friday and put in a decent performance to end this campaign positively.”
