Ospreys head coach Toby Booth said:
“We have been competitive in our effort and performances this season and we’ll be striving for that level in this game.
“Not only is this week a Welsh derby, it’s an opportunity to put ourselves in the best position we can to qualify for the play-offs.
“I think it would be a huge achievement for us to make the play-offs and we are still in with an opportunity to do that with two games to go. We are still alive.”
