Gloucester’s Jonny May excited for “huge” Challenge Cup quarter-final against Ospreys

Gloucester winger Jonny May is gearing up for a crucial European Challenge Cup quarter-final clash against Ospreys, describing the upcoming match as a “huge” opportunity for his team to showcase their abilities.

May emphasized the significance of the game, highlighting the hard work and dedication that has been put in by the Gloucester squad over the years. Despite facing challenges this season, May expressed excitement at the prospect of playing in a quarter-final and proving what they are capable of achieving.

Having already secured the Premiership Rugby Cup last month, Gloucester is now eyeing another trophy with the Challenge Cup. However, their form in the Premiership has been inconsistent, with the team currently sitting in ninth place in the table.

Gloucester director of rugby George Skivington acknowledged the need for improvement ahead of the clash against Ospreys, recognizing the tough challenge that lies ahead. Ospreys, who have connections to Gloucester through players and coaching staff, are expected to provide stiff competition.

Skivington highlighted Ospreys’ strengths, particularly their fly-half Owen Williams, and emphasized the importance of being focused and ready for the upcoming match. With both teams aiming for victory, the stage is set for an intense and competitive quarter-final showdown at Kingsholm.

As Gloucester prepares to face Ospreys, the team is determined to build on their recent successes and continue their quest for silverware in the Challenge Cup. The players are eager to prove themselves on the big stage and demonstrate their potential to achieve greatness in the tournament.
