Nigel Davies and Sean Holley have both hinted their World Cup squad members are likely to play a part in one of the Welsh derby matches this weekend
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_union/welsh/15526176.stm

my predictions would be:-

Ospreys 28 - 17 Scarlets
the Ospreys forward dominance will prevail and win them the majority of possession, although the likes of George North may come on in the 2nd half and make an impact i think the Ospreys with home advantage will bounce back from their defeat to Glasgow

Dragons 13 - 19 Blues
the Dragons will want to make up for their poor performance against Treviso and i think they'll put in a gutsy performance but i dont think it will be enough as i think the Blues have to much quality and will win the game in the end

No Adam and No Paul James depowers our forwards considerably. If Morgan is at 10 the powerful scarlets backs will target him just as in the glasgow game at teh weekend. Tips is still suspended so we are going to struggle at the breakdown against turnbull mcCusker and Morgan.

Honestly I think it will be a very tight game at the liberty and the scarlets could sneak it. Living where I do that will not be fun. Doh

Yeah i can see Scarlets winning this one. Our backs will be awesome and we're on an upward curve.

moving this to the club section

Just my 2p worth.

I reckon Dragons will win there's but it'll be close

I reckon Scarlets will do well to get within a LBP. As long as we perform better then we did at our last showing at the Library then I'll be happy!

I think the Dragons will win a close game, especially as they'll prob put most of their int back in to the pack.

Scarlets for a LBP, but maybe just maybe a sneaked win.

Fingers crossed as you never know we do have a lot of talent in the backs that are playing well.

I think Dragons will win...They will be desperate to make amends for the last match. It will be close though.

I think Ospreys will win. There pack is still strong even without the internationals back. Again a tough battle and I'm predicting this to be settled by kicks.
