Munster aim to soar past Ospreys

ALAN GAFFNEY insists the focus is on rugby not controversy - even if tonight's Celtic League clash between Munster and Neath/Swansea Ospreys at Musgrave Park (8.05pm) has a distinct edge about it.

Gaffney swears that not a word has been spoken, officially at any rate, about the soured relationship between the two clubs following the Heineken Cup game at the Gnoll on October 31.

Ronan O'Gara will captain a Munster side that shows four changes from the Castres game, and Gaffney says the main thrust of his side's preparation has been to overtake the visitors, who are three points clear at the top of the table.
