Director of Rugby Les Kiss wants Ulster to gain 'upper hand' in battle for play-off spot

Ulster Director of Rugby says the Irish province can gain the upper hand in the battle to secure a play-off spot by beating Ospreys at Liberty Stadium on Saturday.

"Leinster and Munster look like they are going to occupy the top two spots so Ulster, Ospreys and the Scarlets are battling for those third and fourth places," explained Kiss.

"The teams that win this weekend are going to be the teams that have the upper hand next weekend."

"The Ospreys' try-scoring capacity is unbelievable and if you make errors they can hurt you."

Jared Payne, Clive Ross, Darren Cave and Chris Henry all miss the trip to Wales through injury.
