Ospreys come into this fixture with one win and two defeats in three rounds. They are ninth on the table.

In round one, the Ospreys looked on course for a derby win in Newport against the Dragons, but a late fightback by the hosts saw them claim a two-point win. The following week, Ospreys were very good at home against the Stormers, winning the contest 37-24 to claim a bonus point.

After that strong showing, the Welsh outfit was brought crashing back down to earth, losing 23-0 at Munster in very wet and windy conditions.

The Bulls have won their opening two games of the URC, both of which were at home.

Against Edinburgh, the Bulls looked very rusty, especially in the set pieces. However, they managed to find a win to win the game 22-16.

Last week, the Bulls welcomed back most of their Springbok players and Jake White had little hesitation in selecting them. It paid off as the Bulls ran in a comfortable 47-21 win against Ulster.
