Ospreys Head Coach, Sean Holley, said:
"It's going to be a difficult 80 minutes that's for certain. Treviso have shown their ability this season, not least last weekend with a great win over Munster, so it's clear we have to be ready to go there and front up. They are a proud and well-established club with real ambition, and their introduction to the Magners League has been a real success. They are a dangerous team, and their record at home this season is excellent, they've won six games including Munster last weekend so we know what's in store.
"The current squad has shown over the last few weeks what they are capable of achieving and this will be another stern test for them, that's for sure. The players have set high standards for themselves, they are achieving what we expect from the Ospreys, which is an exciting brand of rugby.
"We don't want to be their next scalp, so the challenge is there for the players. It's important that we perform as we know we can, play as a team and get the basics right. If we don't do that then it will be a very uncomfortable afternoon."
