After last week's really good performance with the result going against us, the Ospreys will be out to remedy certain aspects of their play as they get ready to face Welsh rivals the Dragons at Rodney Parade on Saturday at 17.15.
Coach Booth will likely shuffle some of his pack with this the second of five games on the bounce. I think the match day 23 will look like this...
N Smith G Thomas D Lake M van der Merwe/E Lewis T Botha B Warren R Davies A Beard J Fender J Morgan J Tipuric J Ratti M Morris
RMW R Kruger/L Davies J Walsh O Williams/D Edwards D Kasende/L Morgan O Watkin G North M Protheroe M Nagy L Scully/D Morris (?)
I have added the Cheetahs players as options as this game would be the perfect chance to test them but that depends on how well they have done in Training.
I assume that Jac will be back.
I don't know if we will risk Owen Williams and I think Keiran will not recover/be risked.
So the starting team could look like
N Smith D Lake B Warren A Beard J Fender J Morgan J Tipuric M Morris/J Ratti
RMW D Edwards L Morgan O Watkin G North M Protheroe J Walsh
Discuss....
Move out Booth, we have that nice Mark Jones now. Our results are getting worse year on year and we are in terminal decline despite having some of the best players in Welsh rugby. How can this be explained. ?
