Ospreys prop Nicky Smith is clearly not prepared to go away his house area simply but.
Smith is becoming a member of Leicester subsequent season and this may have been his final recreation if Ospreys had not reached the play-offs.
His two-try haul earned him the player-of-the-match accolade and helped arrange a visit to Munster subsequent Friday.
Ospreys captain Justin Tipuric described his entrance 5 as “superior” and Smith was the heartbeat of that.
Smith is 30, has performed 46 internationals and been concerned in two World Cups, so it may be assumed on such a foundation that he’s a longtime Wales performer.
However he has by no means fully satisfied the Wales teaching group and was omitted of the Six Nations squad in favour of fellow loose-heads Gareth Thomas, Corey Domachowski and Kemsley Mathias, who additionally scored on Judgement Day for Scarlets.
The Ospreys followers admire one among their very own, although, and they’re going to have one other probability to see Smith in motion subsequent weekend in Limerick.
They may once more hope that isn’t for the ultimate time.
