The Magners League clash against the Scottish side has been designated as a Ty Hafan Benefit Match following a unique tie-up between the region and Ty Hafan, the family hospice for young lives, which it is anticipated could raise as much as £40,000 for the charity between now and the end of the season.

The Ospreys have agreed to hand £2 from every full price adult ticket sold for the game (£1 per child/OAP ticket) via the Liberty Stadium Ticket Office to the charity. In addition, the Ospreys have presented Ty Hafan with a substantial allocation of tickets for the game, which are a mixture of all values including hospitality, allowing them to sell them and keep all revenues raised. A collection of valuable signed memorabilia has also been handed over by the squad, which will be used as auction and raffle prizes, boosting Ty Hafan's coffers even further.

Ospreys Coach Jonathan Humphreys commented:

"â'¬Å"We've talked about being more clinical, about being more ruthless although we secured a good win in our last game against the Dragons, we know that there is still considerable room for improvement, so we have been working hard this week on getting that right.

"â'¬Å"There'll be plenty of motivating factors for this one, not least is the desire to sign off at home for the season in a positive manner. You've got guys playing for a place in the Wales shirt, and you've also got people who haven't had much game time, through injury or whatever, so they are looking to make an impression as well. I'm sure it's going to be an entertaining game to watch so hope that there will be a good crowd at the Liberty Stadium, particularly with Ty Hafan set to benefit from a kind gesture made by the Directors to donate money from each ticket sold for the game."â'¬Â
