Ospreys Head Coach, Allen Clarke, said:
“Friday night’s game against Munster is important if we are to keep challenging for the play-off positions. It's obviously a massive test against the conference leaders but a test the boys are determined to embrace.
“There are six games to go in the regular season and with various head to head games in the conference over the next couple of weeks the importance of the next two matches is huge.
“Our goal is simply to still be fighting for the end of season knockouts when the internationals return for the last four games.”
