TFS no clues really due to an almost complete media blackout at Oval Park.
I think it will be a mix and match selection and will hazard a guess at:

Watson
Saumaki
Cocanasinga
Scott
Murimurivalu
Atkinson
JVP
Cronin
Claire
Heyes
Wells
Green
Martin
Cracknell
Jansen

Bench : Taufetee, Whitcombe, Cole, Snyman, Liebenberg, Wigglesworth, Burns, Ashton

Will it actually go ahead? Do Ospreys have under pitch heating or other means of unfreezing the pitch?

I would have thought so as it's a Football Ground, think you need under soil heating to be in the higher leagues?

Forecast hasn’t been quite as cold down there I assume because it’s by the sea.

Yes the Liberty has undersoil heating. Swansea City have a game tomorrow against Norwich, so there shouldn't be an issues with the game going ahead. Temperature's down in Swansea are also a bit higher than they are up here in Leicestershire.

Beat me to it TFS. Decent side, pleased to see Kelly and Porter getting more time. Little surprised by Oghre with him leaving but possibly forced by injuries

First start for Atkinson, looking to see how he gets on!

Nice team selection, good balance of resting and playing various players

Atkinson did start in the PRC the other weekend Vs Sarries.

Shame Ilione isn't getting a game and Liebenburg isn't getting a break as I thought he looked a little tired last weekend (he does put himself about).

Otherwise happy with the side. Be good to have a look at Oghre. He hasn't confirmed where he'll be next season so you never know we might see more of him in a Tigers shirt yet.

Ospreys have gone as strong as they can for this one, as expected so could be a tough game.

Have a feeling Liebenberg may get the Clermont game off with Montoya coming in to skipper the side and Wiese and Reffell back.
