Unfortunately you are correct AO, the death notice is on RIP.ie.
Shocking news. I’m sure many of us will have spoken to Ellen on match days on the Clan Terrace. I spoke to her a few times and a nicer lady you couldn’t meet, her pride in Ultan was lovely to see. Sincere sympathy to Ultan and his brother Cian. May she Rest In Peace.

Quinn will be named as a sub according to this article

I don't think we'll have Quinn Roux back now, as Ultan is unavailable due to a family bereavement.

Someone on planet rugby has said that it was his mother who unexpectedly passed, so if that is the case huge condolences to him. What an awful thing to happen

Prop Nicky Smith is the only player released to Ospreys from the Wales camp for Friday's game.

Adam Beard and Owen Watkin are staying with the match squad as cover.

@Connemara man.. it's main stand lad taking the 2 if any change I'll let u no

Main stand or clan?

Anyone need one adult one student ticket for this .. won't be able to make it ..
(2 season tickets )

But if it's the same as the Leinster v Glasgow game which they did the same thing with earlier in the season it will remain up after the game finishes

It'll be live

Will it only be viewable live or do TG4 leave it on their YouTube page for us to watch later instead ?

TG4 are showing the Edinburgh v Leinster game, however Connacht v Ospreys is live on their YouTube channel.

Interesting/worrying Carey wasn't mentioned at all, he looked in a bad way coming off against Oyonnax
