Welsh rugby side Ospreys expect a battle tougher than most this weekend in the Pro14 when they face the Toyota Cheetahs at the Liberty Stadium.


Despite Ospreys being boosted by the return of Welsh trio Adam Beard, Nicky Smith and Owen Watkin, the Welsh side still has an eagle eye on the Bloemfontein-based side.

Ospreys defence coach, Brad Davis, says they will need to have their wits about them as there are many aspects of the Cheetahs game that is a real threat.

Davis says: "As a back three they (Cheetahs) are as exciting as anything in the competition. They are the second highest try scorers in the competition."

"They are hitting markers that are up there with the top 2, top 3 sides in both conferences, so it's going to be a massive challenge for us," Davis added.

Saturday evening's game in Swansea at the Liberty Stadium will kick off at 19:30 but will not be televised so supporters can follow the action on OFM Sport's Twitter page for updates and scores.
