COVENTRY Rugby will entertain Welsh side Ospreys in a bumper pre-season friendly at the Nick Newbold Stadium.

Ospreys form one of four professional regions in Wales and compete in the United Rugby Championship.

The friendly will take place on Friday, September 4 with kick-off at 7.30pm at the Nick Newbold Stadium.

The game marks the first-ever meeting between the two clubs.
