Speaking ahead of the game, head coach Tom Snelgrove said:
“It's always an exciting time of year to start the RAG process , and this season even more so with a new and exciting playing and coaching team coming together.
As a coaching team we have seen good developments from the players over the last six weeks, but the true test will come tomorrow against a strong Blues team. The Blues North are traditionally a good yardstick to measure yourselves against so to have them first up will be interesting. However important the result is, the key for us a coaching staff is to ensure that each player continues to develop and performs to their potential, whilst enjoying the experience.
“The players can’t wait to get there first experience of being an Osprey!”
