So after a pre-season that saw us lose narrowly to the Dragons before then narrowly beating Cardiff, the URC gets underway in earnest with a difficult away trip to Galway where we face Connacht. The pre-season games didn't really point to a likely starting XV for this game and hopefully the illness in the camp, that saw Botha, Watkin and Protheroe miss the Cardiff game, will have passed so we should have most of the squad available for selection.
I think that the matchday 23 will look something like this....
R Henry G Phillips S Parry E Lewis T Botha B Warren R Davies H Sutton W Griffiths J Tipuric J Ratti M Morris H Deaves (Morse if Ratti is out and Lloyd if Parry is out)
RMW L Davies O Williams D Edwards K Giles O Watkin K Williams D Morris L Morgan J Walsh (Maybe Nagy gets a spot because of his versatility, same for Protheroe and possibly Fricker).
DIscuss...
I wonder if a few players need to have some time out to practice some basics? I think Ethan lewis and Owen Williams were costly in that game.
