Scarlets v Ospreys at Parc y Scarlets 26.12.11 KO 2:05pm

First topic message reminder :

A sell out crowd should provide the perfect atmosphere to what has the potential to be a very good, highly competative game of rugby.

Scarlets Team:: 15 Liam Williams, 14 George North, 13 Scott Williams, 12 Jon Davies, 11 Sean Lamont, 10 Rhys Priestland, 9 Gareth Davies, 1 Rhodri Jones, 2 Matthew Rees (capt), 3 Rhys Thomas, 4 Lou Reed, 5 Dominic Day, 6 Aaron Shingler, 7 Rob McCusker, 8 Ben Morgan.

Replacements: 16 Ken Owens, 17 Phil John, 18 Deacon Manu, 19 Sione Timani, 20 Johnathan Edwards, 21 Rhodri Williams, 22 Stephen Jones, 23 Iongi Viliame.

Key players that are still recovering from illness/injury such as Damien Welch and Iestyn Thomas not included, with the Scarlets mindful they only have a four day turnaround before another big match against the Dragons away on the 30th December.

Ospreys meanwhile have been hit hard by injury and suspension in their 2nd row position and will be without Ian Evans, AW Jones and I Gough. However a big shout out to Adam Jones who will be earning his 150th start for the Osprey's on Monday.

How does everyone see this one going? After a hard fought draw at the Liberty earlier in the season, can either side get the upper hand on the other?

How did he get on with Eddie O Sullivan?

I'm not sure....have a read through Penfro's thread about EOS. That's one for the Irish posters...
