So with the Pro14 taking a break and the Autumn Nations Cup finished, attention now turns to Europe and the Challenge Cup. I would be very surprised if any of the international boys featured in this game as I think we should save them for Boxing Day against the Scarlets.
I think we will see a similar team to those that have featured in the recent Pro14 games so it would look something like:-
R Jones D Lake M Fia R Davies A Beard W Griffiths D Lydiate O Cracknell
R Morgan Williams S Myler L Morgan K Williams T Thomas-Wheeler H Dirksen M Protheroe

Credit must also go to Adam Beard. I felt he made a big difference when he came on. He disrupted the driving maul from lineouts and he probably added a fair amount of grunt to the scrums. I can see why he has fallen out of favour with Pivac as he's not the moderns day 2nd row who is able to rampage around the field. However, play him alongside a mobile 2nd row and I think they would really compliment each other.
