Dragons v Ospreys. Jan 9th @ 17.15

With a close loss and a blowout win in the last two festive derbies, the Ospreys face the Dragons in the last of the festive local derbies. The Dragons were narrowly beaten by the Blues but well beaten by the Scarlets last time out so they will be looking to bounce back against the Ospreys. There is a chance of squad rotation for the Dragons game but I believe that Booth will want to finish these local derbies on a high and will pick a strong side. With Scott Williams out for a good while, there is a chance that North will move to the centre and that would allow Protheroe to come in on the wing - putting all of our most attack-minded players on the pitch.

I think the side will look something like this:-

R Jones I Phillips M Fia A Beard R Davies D Lydiate J Tipuric M Morris

R Webb S Myler L Morgan K Williams G North M Protheroe D Evans

Reps

N Smith S Otten T Botha L Ashley W Griffiths R Morgan-Williams T Thomas-Wheeler K Giles

The matchday 23 will largely remain the same as last time but we might see Keelan Giles return on the bench.
