Munster host Ospreys in a Conference A clash in Cork. The visiting side are looking to keep their season alive while Munster chase the high flying Glasgow, who subjected Ospreys to a hiding in Swansea last week. Steve Tandy has apparently received backing from the Ospreys higher ups and it remains to be seen if he resurrect the team's fortunes as they brace for high profile departures in the summer.

Simon Zebo starts for Munster, there will be a sigh of relief that he avoided injury last week. The major internationals are unsurprisingly rested. All eyes will be on Sam Arnold as he is set to play a key part in the European back-to-back against Leicester following the injury to Chris Farrell which adds to the other absentees at centre: Dan Goggin and Jaco Taute.

It's hard to see any other result than a Munster bonus point victory.
