Munster v Ospreys Live: Kick-off time, team news and URC quarter-final live updates

The Ospreys travel to Munster this evening for a place in the United Rugby Championship semi-finals.

Toby Booth's side face the reigning champions in their URC quarter-final at Thomond Park, as they look to defy the odds once again after reaching the top eight.

The Ospreys have made one enforced change to the side that defeated Cardiff at Judgement Day last weekend.

Fly-half Dan Edwards has a leg injury, with Owen Williams taking his place in the 10 jersey.

Flanker Harri Deaves also misses out on the trip with back-row Morgan Morse and fly-half Luke Scully brought on to the bench.

Munster show three personnel changes to the side that beat Ulster to seal top spot.

Antoine Frisch returns from a leg injury at 13, with Sean O’Brien moving to inside centre and Rory Scannell missing out.

In the pack John Hodnett and Gavin Coombes come into the back-row, with Alex Kendellen and Jack O'Donoghue dropping to the bench.
