Head Coach Steve Tandy said:

"This is a massive game for us and the group are under no illusions of the size of the task ahead over next couple of months. We are in fourth place at the moment but Glasgow are breathing down our necks with a couple of games in hand, which makes it more important than ever that we go there on Friday night and are on top of our game in all areas. Every player will need to know their role, pay attention to detail and be clinical in everything they do. There is absolutely no margin for error if we want to keep hold of a play-off spot so we know what we've got to do."

"It's all building up to be a real exciting end of season and we want to be involved right til the end. We realise that there is a lot of expectation on our shoulders being the only team from Wales in the mix again but that comes with being an Osprey and the boys have to stand up when the pressure is on."

"This is a young group of players and that makes this all the more exciting. We have a back line with an average age of 23, and it's only 25 in the forwards. They may be young, but there is considerable experience despite the age, and what is really exciting is that their best days are ahead of them."

"We know what this group can do. We are trying to develop a style of rugby that will excite fans and there have been a few glimpses in recent weeks of how that is coming along. It's important now that they back it up on Friday night with a winning performance when it really matters. Looking further ahead, there's a lot to be positive about with this group of players, in terms how they will serve the region and develop together as a team. For now though, it's all about Glasgow."
