Ospreys Head Coach, Steve Tandy, said:
“We are welcoming a very good team to the Liberty this weekend, they are unbeaten and are deservedly top of Conference A, so we know the size of the challenge in store for us.
“Glasgow are a team that has always played an attractive brand of rugby and they are looking to take that to another level this season, with real strength in depth in all areas. Whatever line-up they bring down with them, they’ll come here confident, refreshed after a two-week break, and believing in their ability to get the job done.
“We know that we have to start climbing the table and to do that, we have to start turning those 50, 60 minute performances into a full 80. It won’t get any easier with Munster and Scarlets away in our next two PRO14 games so we can’t make excuses, can’t look beyond this weekend, we’ve got to put the hard work in as a collective.
“There are 13 games to go and the new conference structure means that there is absolutely everything to play for with a play-off spot just two wins away from us. The key is that we start picking up wins now, before that gap starts to grow, and that is the challenge for us on Sunday.”
