Cardiff Rugby v Ospreys New Year's Day at 3pm

Riding high on the back of two excellent recent victories, the Ospreys now travel to the capital city for the New Year's Day derby with Cardiff at the Arms Park. Cardiff, themselves, are on a 3 game winning streak and will be looking to extend their lead in both the URC and the Welsh Shield. Given the short turnaround between the last match, it is possible that both teams will see some rotation. For the Ospreys, I expect a similar squad to that which faced the Scarlets with just a few tweaks.
