So after a few weeks of Wales being battered by the Southern Hemisphere teams (at the time of writing we have lost to Fiji and Australia and face the might SA on Saturday where I suspect we will take another hammering) and breaking our players, the Ospreys will return to face perennial Italian strugglers Zebre in Italy a week on Saturday.
Predicting a squad for this game is difficult given we will not know the extent of any injuries to our TW boys but we do know that we will almost certainly be without Adam Beard. I suspect that Dewi and Jack will likely be rested if we can and possibly Gar Thom as well. We could be struggling for a hooker reserve but will we risk Fender and Will Griff? Several players have (?) due to not knowing if they are fit and available.
Potential Squad
R Henry G Phillips S Parry AN Other T Botha B Warren J Ratti J Fender (?) W Griffiths (?) J Tipuric AN Other M Morris H Deaves (?)
K Hardy RMW D Edwards O Williams K Williams O Watkin P Cokansiga (?) K Giles R Conbeer (?) M Nagy
Discuss.
Jason I would have thought Lewis Lloyd would be available, as he pulled out of the Dragons game with a dead leg, surely he should have recovered from that by next weekend, I don't know if Ethan Lewis should be ok as I don't know what pulled him out. I don't think RMW will be available I think his injury is more serious.
I would think you should be right about the TW guys, but who knows what comes out from that den of iniquity, I would quite like Cornelius to travel on that trip and have you forgotten Jack Walsh
