With virtually a full strength squad to choose from, and two pre-season wins from two, the Ospreys will head to Llanelli to take on the Scarlets in a good place. The reigning Welsh Shield champions will want to make a strong start to the new season and beating your local rivals is the best way to do just that.
I think the match day 23 could look something like this...(some selections could go either way)
N Smith G Thomas/G Phillips D Lake S Baldwin/E Taione T Francis T Botha/B Warren R Davies AWJ/H Sutton/BBD J Tipuric (C) J Morgan M Morris E Roots/D Lydiate
R Webb RMW G Anscombe J Walsh/S Myler K Giles J Hawkins M Collins/K Williams/G North A Cuthbert M Protheroe/L Morgan M Nagy

wouldn’t mind seeing Max Nagy have a shot at fullback, cuthbert in North into centre to get him more involved and as much as I like J Morgan Lydiate in at six against the lions. But what do I know.
