The Ospreys will kick-off their Heineken Cup campaign with a tough trip to Welford Road to face English giants Leicester Tigers on the opening weekend of this year's competition (Sunday 12th October).
They will then follow that up with an enticing home fixture against Perpignan the following weekend before facing a December double header against Italian side Benetton Treviso, with the home leg up first.
January will see the Ospreys travel to face Perpignan on the weekend of 16/17/18, before rounding off Pool 3 with a potentially huge clash with Leicester the following weekend.
