URC: Ospreys will embrace underdogs tag against Munster – Morgan

Wales flanker Jac Morgan says Ospreys will embrace the underdog tags when they face defending champions Munster in the United Rugby Championship (URC) play-offs on Friday night.

Ospreys snuck into eighth place while Munster topped the table after winning the URC title last season.

“Sometimes it’s easier to be the underdogs, there’s a bit less pressure and no one expects you to get a result,” said Morgan.

“It’ll be great for us to go up against Munster, we want to play against the best and they are playing some great rugby at the moment

“This is what the play-offs are, they give us the opportunity to be able to go up against the likes of Munster and compete.

“We know the atmosphere at Thomond Park will be great, that just adds to the excitement.”

Ospreys became the first Welsh side to reach the league play-offs in six years.

“It’s very important for Welsh rugby and it’s great to be there,” said Morgan.

“We’re chuffed, it’s something we spoke about at the start of the season.

“It was a target of ours to get there, so to achieve our goal is great, but now it’s all eyes on Friday night.”
