Eli Walker says he's hoping to start next season with a bang after his breakthrough campaign for the region ended as something of a damp squib, surgery on his back ending his season prematurely.

Forwards Coach, Jonathan Humphreys, commented:
"We were understandably very pleased with the win last weekend but the message all this week has been that it won't mean anything if we don't back it up in this match.
"That performance probably set a benchmark for the rest of the season. We will need to hit those standards and show the same desire and endeavour in our remaining games if we are going to have any chance of achieving a home semi.
"At this time of the season every game is crucial and so much can change up at the top end of the table after each round of fixtures. We won't worry about other games, we'll concentrate on what we can control, which is our performance levels and accuracy. If we get these right then we'll get our reward in terms of a play-off place.
"Saturday night will be a great opportunity for our supporters to welcome back our Grand Slam boys to the Liberty Stadium so I'd hope that we'll have a good crowd and atmosphere for the occasion. In particular, fans will no doubt want to give a special welcome back to Adam for the first time since he signed his new contract. It's fantastic for the Ospreys that he wants to stay here, a real statement of intent at a time when people think it's all gloom and doom at the regions. He's been a tremendous servant to the Ospreys and will be looking forward to playing in front of his home fans again."
