OSPREYS boss Lyn Jones has predicted “an encounter to remember” when his star-studded Welsh challengers tackle English champions Sale Sharks in a mouth-watering Heineken Cup clash this evening.

AS if spurred on by the quality of recent Heineken Cup clashes, the opening weekend of this year’s Six Nations Championship provided high quality drama and even the long-awaited shock result.

Wales full-back Gareth Thomas will complete his move to two-time European champions Toulouse tomorrow morning.

French Grand Slam stars Oliver Magne and Damien Traille will both line up for the Barbarians against Wales at Ashton Gate on Wednesday night.
