Ospreys have named their squad to face the Cell C Sharks on Friday 2nd December in Round 9 of the United Rugby Championship. The game will kick off at 19h10 (SA time)
Rhys Webb is set to captain the side, with backrower Will Hickey set to make his second start in succession for the Ospreys. Hickey made 15 tackles last week against the Vodacom Bulls without missing one.
Keelan Giles lines up on the wing and is one of just four players in the URC to have made 8+ line breaks this season.
Attack Coach Richard Fussell said: “We’re expecting a reaction from the Cell C Sharks after the Cardiff game. Whether it’s a change on the field or an attitude change from them, they’re going to come out all guns blazing. But we’re going to focus on ourselves, as we showed against the Bulls, when we get ourselves right we can be a formidable outfit.”
