“The Ospreys are a good side at home, no two ways about that. They are a tough side to beat, they are physical. Toby Booth is a smart operator and I think he’s got the qualities at his disposal to win this game,” he said. “Yes, they are strong up front, yes, they have got some good players behind, but I just think the psyche around how they are managing rugby games and how smart they are being is just second to none at the minute.“It’s going to take one immense performance from the Ospreys to win this. They are coming up against a side full of confidence, a side that is winning time after time. It’s going to be a huge challenge.
“This style of rugby in the URC suits the South African teams better than the old Super Rugby and they are really finding their feet now. They have really worked out which style of rugby wins games.“I think back to the Cardiff-Lions match, which I worked on a few weeks ago. That was just a complete lesson in how to manage a game under those conditions. It wasn’t pretty, the wind was howling, it was pouring down with rain.
