After a disappointing loss to Cardiff at Judgement Day, the Ospreys will be looking to get back to winning ways when they welcome the Dragons to the .com for Tips' and Beard's last home game of their Ospreys careers. I have no idea who Mark will select but this is the squad I would pick.....there will probably be some rotation with the starting XV.
G Thomas G Phillips
D Lake L Lloyd/S Parry
T Botha B Warren
J Fender W Spencer W Griffiths/A Beard
J Ratti J Morgan J Tipuric M Morse
K Hardy RMW
D Edwards
K Giles
E Boshoff K Williams O Williams
D Kasende
J Walsh
I Hopkins
Adam Beard will leave the Ospreys at the end of the season so this will also be his final home game if he is available for selection.
Botha needs a break, he looked absolutely cooked after 20 mins against Lyon, and then he starts against the Blues .....
I like the look of lots of that squad, I'm hoping for Beardy to come back in, I think I would like a freshening up of the starters from the recent games and some of the starters to bench for this one, put Ratti to the back row for this one as you've done, put him at 6 Justin if available 7 and Morse 8 with Jac on the bench, if Justin is not there fetch Deavesy to the bench and Jac starting. I might even start with the 2 lesser props to join Dewi as the weakest facet of Dragons play IMO is their scrum, I would have SP covering Dewi, and possibly give Cokasinga a chance in the centre to see what he's made of.
