Ospreys V Scarlets Boxing Day 2022

After a resounding victory at full strength, French Champions, Montpelier, the Ospreys should be full of confidence for the return of the URC and the visit of the Scarlets to the Swansea.com stadium for what is set to be another Boxing Day classic. The Ospreys could name an unchanged team for the game but I think Giles, Lake and AWJ could return to the winning squad at the expense of Luke Morgan, Scott Baldwin and Huw Sutton. This is based on not yet watching the Montpelier game and assuming no more injuries.

I think the 23 man squad will look like -

G Thomas N Smith D Lake S Parry T Francis T Botha R Davies A Beard AWJ/H Sutton E Roots J Tipuric M Morris J Morgan

R Webb RMW O Williams J Walsh K Giles K Williams M Collins J Hawkins A Cuthbert M Nagy

with a starting XV of

N Smith S Parry T Botha R Davies A Beard E Roots J Tipuric M Morris

R Webb O Williams K Giles K Williams M Collins A Cuthbert M Nagy

and a very strong bench of

G Thomas D Lake T Francis AWJ/H Sutton J Morgan

RMW J Walsh J Hawkins

Discuss.
