Comment from Head Coach, Lyn Jones:

"Leicester and Munster have been the leading lights of European Rugby since its inception and to face these sides in consecutive weekends is a formidable ask for our squad. Last seasons fixtures against Leicester taught us what it takes to be successful at this level. Leicester have turned their season around since beating Munster away and they are now playing with the confidence of old. However, our players appreciate that beating Cardiff was not a final and nice as it was to get one over our rivals that game will count for nothing unless we move on to Twickenham and start turning our potential into silverware."

"Finals are one-offs and anything can happen, particularly if things are close as we go into the final quarter. We are looking to set the record straight by wining this competition after losing two tight games against Leicester last season. It should make for a great contest for the supporters and we are conscious that there are over a hundred coaches and a huge travelling support leaving our region at the weekend. We will be going all out to reward the fans with a win and although Leicester may feel that they will get an edge from the Twickenham factor I am sure a vocal Ospreys support will eliminate any advantage on Sunday."
