Forwards Coach, Jonathan Humphreys, commented:
"It's good to go to Ulster off the back of two wins but we know that there's going to have be a real improvement from last week if we are going to make it three from three.

"Ravenhill is always a difficult place to go, even more so when they are in the kind of form they've shown during their European campaign this season. It's likely to be a full house, a passionate atmosphere, and a difficult evening for what is largely a young Ospreys team, with a sprinkling of experience. It's nights like these where you learn a lot about a team, about the character and spirit of young guys. It's going to be a great test.

"We've got ourselves in a good position in the PRO12, mainly down to these guys, who've been here during the World Cup and Six Nations. We need to maintain our focus now and make sure we finish the job in the coming weeks and secure that home semi-final."
