**The Ospreys head to Leinster for their final match of the campaign on Friday knowing only a win will guarantee them a top-three finish.** Last weekend’s defeat to Glasgow Warriors at Scotstoun opened up the race for third place in Conference A, which is expected to be enough to secure a Heineken Champions Cup berth. Glasgow are now seven points adrift with two games to play, so defeat for the Ospreys in Dublin would open the door for the Warriors to overhaul them with back-to-back wins over the Dragons and Benetton. Leinster have been assured of their place in next weekend’s final since Round 14 but they demonstrated against Zebre last weekend that they have not taken their foot off the gas.
