Ospreys are improving every season - Booth
The Rugby Paper
|August 25, 2024
TOBY Booth has his eyes on a prize for his ever-improving Ospreys this season and if he achieves his ambitious goal it will scratch an itch that has been with him for almost 20 years.
Twice before in his coaching career Booth has been involved with teams that have reached what is now the EPCR Challenge Cup final. On both occasions his side fell short.
The first time was when he was at London Irish in 2006, when the Exiles lost 36-34 in extra-time to Gloucester at the Twickenham Stoop.
The second time was at Bath, when the West Countrymen went down 30-16 to Northampton Saints at Cardiff Arms Park in 2014.
Stadium Could it be third time lucky with the Ospreys this season? With the final being played at the Principality there is certainly huge incentive for the best of the four Welsh regions.
"We reached the knockout stages in a European competition for the first time since 2010 last season by reaching the quarter-finals before losing at Gloucester," said Booth.
"That came on the back of doing the double over French champions Montpellier in the Champions Cup and beating English champions Leicester Tigers at Welford Road the previous season.
