Reds keen to derail Ospreys

THE Ospreys travel to Thomond Park tonight in search of their second win over Munster in 18 months – a victory that would see them become the first team to beat all four Irish provinces in the one half of the regulated two part RaboDirect Pro12 (formerly Magners League) season.

The Welsh side have already accounted for Leinster (27-3), Ulster (32-14) and Connacht (26-21), all at the Liberty Stadium.

“They are leading the table and have probably played the best rugby of any team in the RaboDirect this year,” said Munster coach Tony McGahan. “Consequently, they are leading, and clearly they have an exceptionally good group of young players they have put a lot of faith in.”
