Ospreys: D Evans; G North, T Thomas-Wheeler, K Williams, M Protheroe; S Myler, S Venter; G Thomas, S Parry, M Fia, L Ashley, R Davies, W Griffiths, Tipuric (capt), D Lydiate.
Replacements: I Phillips, N Smith, T Botha, A Beard, M Morris, M Aubrey, S Williams, L Morgan.
Castres: C Clavières; B Guillemin, F Vialelle, V Botitu, A Batlle; T Fortunel, J Fernandez; K Kornath, M Vaipulu (capt), S Onambele; H Nkinsi, RPieterse; D Kotze, K Firmin, J Nostadt.
Replacements: P Colonna, W De Benedittis, S Dube, F Vanverberghe, D Clerc, B Bourgier, L Le Brun, A Amans.
Ashley ahead of Beard? Lydiate at 8 ahead of Morris (perhaps not fully fit yet)? Could Booth have played North at 13 so Morgan could have taken the wing spot. I understand wanting Evans back in but Protheroe and Morgan have been two of the brighter spots this season.

True, but wouldn't you like to see them with Lee-lo in the centre or perhaps Ollie Robinson at 7...Arhip on the bench instead of Andrews? Still, pretty decent side.
I guess Ben Thomas is covering 10 - would be interested to see how he goes in that position.

Only mildly drizzling on your parade...I just want to see them win, and getting some of those 7s back would be good to see. How about I substitute Jenkins or Navidi for Robinson, Halaholo for Lee-lo and Assiratti for Andrews, and we can still have an all welsh side.

Robinson is WQ.
We're well into our mid season shit flinging sesh now, so i expect us to roll over and start playing with each others belly buttons
And from what I've heard Scully, the Osprey U20 is abysmal, so thomas is effectvely our only hope at 10 bar Jarrod, until the menifestation of the Biggar/Carter love child in the academy comes through

Not for the first time I’m sorry to say. I’ve seen him do a side-step to save the attacker the trouble.

The Blues should win this, if the rest of the team don't follow Morgan's example.

Was thinking the same thing. Their attack has been absurdly deep as well. Easy pickings for the Blues defence.
And with that, the Blues seal the win with a decent maul. Decent performance from the Blues, but Newcastle have been garbage.

The Rugby Paper have Glouscester making moves for Jarrod.
He'd be the latest in the Patchell, Anscombe, Sheedy line of top quality 10s the WRU have gone out of their way to fuck us over.

So, back to the good old days this weekend, with the regions putting in various degrees of solid shifts, and the Dragons being the embarrassment of Wales.
