The Ospreys have announced their decision to stage one of their home United Rugby Championship (URC) matches in London during the upcoming 2023/2024 season.

The club made the announcement via a tweet, stating that: "Today we're also confirming that Ospreys will take one game on the road to London in our 23/24 season."

They reportedly have to move three games from their regular home ground, the Swansea.com stadium. While the specific side and venue in London have not been officially confirmed by the Ospreys, reports from the BBC suggest that they are in talks to play against the Sharks at the Harlequins Stoop ground on Friday, 3rd November.

This move marks a unique opportunity for Ospreys fans based in London or nearby to witness their team play on unfamiliar turf.

Earlier this week the Ospreys confirmed the loan signing of centre Dom Morris from Saracens. With over 50 appearances for Saracens, Morris impressed with two tries in his home Premiership debut against Exeter Chiefs. He played a vital role in England U20's successful 2017 Six Nations campaign, featuring in all matches.
