Ospreys Head Coach, Allen Clarke, said:

“With three games left it’s a simple equation for us. We know what the challenge is over the last three rounds of the regular season and our focus is on ourselves, and what we can control.

“The Cheetahs are a quality team and a formidable force at home. They are particularly dangerous in open field play with the ability to strike from deep.

“Having said that there’s a real buzz amongst the squad and a clear understanding of what we need to do to impose our game on the opposition.

We’ll have to be at our best defensively and, in attack, be accurate and clinical.”
