Back to the URC in our next game and hopefully we should see some of our stronger players return. I do not expect us to go to the PYS and hammer them but depending on the side we are able to put out, I would hope that we have enough for the win.
Potential Squad (assumes these players are fit*)
N Smith*(G Phillips) G Thomas S Parry D Lake T Botha R Henry A Beard J Fender R Davies* M Morris* T Davies H Deaves M Morse
RMW L Davies O Williams D Edwards K Giles* O Watkin* G North M Protheroe J Walsh D Morris*/K Williams*
My starting team would be...
G Thomas D Lake R Henry A Beard J Fender R Davies H Deaves M Morris
L Davies O Williams K Giles O Watkin G North M Protheroe J Walsh
Reps
N Smith S Parry T Botha T Davies M Morse
RMW D Edwards D Morris/K Williams
Discuss. *Edited to remove Jac Morgan (knee injury) from the squad and replace him with M Morse.
Managed to watch the game this morning, already knowing the result.
Not a lot happened in the first half but our defence was strong and Lloyd's kicking was not.
Second half a lot better and we deserved the win. That missed 2-on-1 missed overlap by Rogers was criminal beyond belief and it was funny when they tried to go the length only for Walsh to swoop in and score and take away their BP.
First Double in 10 years and now we have to go for the Double Double next year.
We looked all at sea in the first half, but great gutsy play in the 2nd half and I agree that our youngsters really stepped up. One thing it looks like we have in spades is a team spirit and togetherness. That can make a big difference in games like that last night. A double over our nearest and dearest is something to be cherished.
How did Morse get on?
Terrible first half heavily penalised and poor attack. Only great defence kept us in touch along with shocking goal kicking from Lloyd..
Second half we cut out penalties and squeezed them. Very decent away win considering injuries we have
Morgan Morse starts instead of Morgan Morris.
Lewis Jones benches.
I cannot watch the game live as I have a family commitment but I will watch it later and post later.
Let's go Ospreys.
Here is the Scarlets team
I don't think Nicky will play.
Does anyone know if any of our injured players are back on the training field?
Like all local derbies especially in the URC the referee will have a massive infliebce on the result.
Ben Whitehousevand were dead:(
I've heard that Lousi and wyn jones are available for them. Lousi can make a real difference.
I'm afraid the Turks will throw everything including the kitchen sink after the horror match against Black Lion. Home crowd will be on their backs and even if they're still rubbish, a yellow card against the Os could be enough to swing it in their favour. That said a 50 point drubbing over them in their own patch would be nice Santa ;) .
