HEINEKEN CUP- OSPREYS VS. LONDON IRISH- PREVIEW AND BETTING TIPS

Welsh captain Ryan Jones returns this week, in what is guaranteed to be a bruising encounter when Welsh outfit Ospreys takes on current Aviva Premiership log leaders London Irish at Liberty Stadium.
Jones returns having undergone an extended lay off, following an extended pre-season on the back of a combination of international duty and injury.
For London Irish, Tongan international Chris Hala'ufia officially marked his official debut as Irish travel to Swansea. The powerful flanker enjoyed massive success, coming on as a substitute in the riveting 23-17 win over Munster last weekend.
Exiles coach Toby Booth has instituted two changes to the side that prevailed against tournament favourites Munster last weekend, with the inclusion of young winger Jonathan Joseph, as well as Kiwi Dan Bowden.
London Irish have an incredible line-up heading into tomorrow's clash with a total of 10 internationals in their starting XV.
Ospreys: Byrne, Bowe, Bishop, Hook, Williams, Biggar, Phillips, Thomas, Holah, Collins, Wyn Jones (c), Jones, Jones,  Hibbard, James.
London Irish: Ojo, Joseph, Mapusua, Bowden, Tagicakibau, Lamb, Hodgson, Stowers, Hala'ufia, Roche, Casey, Kennedy, Rautenbach, Buckland, Dermody (c)
Paddypower is offering some lucrative betting odds on this one, although to be honest this game is one of the tighter ones to call.
Ospreys are priced as firm favourites here at 1.33, however don’t be surprised to see an upset on this one with London Irish priced at an enticing 3.25.
Ospreys, traditionally an attacking line-up from the get go. are placed at 1.50 to win the first half, with the Exiles set at 2.87
The bookies, not surprisingly considering the quality on display here, are calling this game rather tight with a 'Winning Margin' bet finding tighter odds on the lower margins.
A 1-5 point win the way of the Welsh is set at 5.50, with Irish coming in at 7.0 even. A great bet would be the Ospreys to win by 1-10 points, which is currently sitting at 2.37
Another fantastic opportunity is a bet on last week's tryscorer, and former IRB Player of the Year Shane Williams to score the opening try at 11.0 even- a very likely scenario at a great pricing.
This is a clash of European giants and is bound to be all out action.
Both of these teams will head into this match with vigour, and as a rugby spectator this has all the settings for an absolute classic!
Betting Tip: Osprey to win by 1-10 at 2.37
