After a somewhat sobering loss out in Montpellier on Saturday, the Ospreys have another short turnaround as they begin preparations for what many call the game of the season, the West Wales derby against the Scarlets. Booth and all of us will be praying that injuries to key players sustained yesterday are nothing serious and that some of the injured players who have been out for a while are able to be selected.
I had a quick look at the ticket sales for the match and I don't think we will attract a big crowd.

Dancing all night
Anyone seen Disco Dave?
Only appears when we lose 😀😀
Big moment that. So much still to improve on-penalty count, taking ball standing still tap penalties. Can’t wait to see Morgan Morse get a run and Ratti and Rhys back soon. Is Bootha a busted flush ?
The win was great, seeing Rhys Davies back on the grass pre game was equally as good. Ymlaen y gweilch.
HA HA HA HA.
Nothing like a last second try to send that lot home quiet...
Three tries to one even in the narrowest and latest of wins should inject confidence. The spirit of Toby lives here, find a way? Ye Gods, didn't that bench do well.
Abysmal attacking play from us. Really not good enough.
In football there's a term called bouncebackability usually saved for when a new coach takes over a team. Let's hope Mark Jones has this effect and we stuff that lot on Saturday.
Whats happened to Nagy?
