Front row we clearly have the edge especially if you include bench which is crucial in front row
Second row AWJ is clearly head and shoulders above all else but we can more than match other second rows with Ball/ Bullring or Ball/ Bierce
Back row very tight but think we have advantage at breakdown wish Cubby was available but we must do as Aussie did to Tuperic and take him out at rucks,they clearly targeted him, which made him ineffective.
Half backs if they pick Biggar I be happy think Patch is outplaying him at moment with ball in hand Cawdor would be first choice between sides and JE would be second we lucky Webb injured.
Centres as has been already pointed out is very close but Parkes and Scott have edge with foxy not a bad person to come off bench.
Back three we have edge as good as Giles is going forward could be a lot of pressure for him and could be targeted.
Looking forward to game Osprey mate said we have only bought 300 tickets that surely can't be right or is it.



It wouldnt surprise me, Alot of people wont go to the Liberty due to the hostile enviroment and the disrespect shown by some Os fans towards us.

Scarletrules - you are not the first to have made this point. Is it really that bad? I attended last years Xmas game at PYS & it was a great atmosphere with no hassle that I saw. Is it really that different at the Liberty? All the Ospreys fans I have ever met have been good company.

The last 2 or 3 times I've visited have been fine , there was 2 years on the trot where the ospreys supporters were quite nasty towards our group of scarlets supporters but that is just a few of their supporters , all clubs have them , il always make the journey if I can and I will be there this year , a few supporters I've spoken to in the past though have said they have been threatened by Os supporters and offered a fight outside etc and has put them right off going back

It really isn't that bad.
 
I have been there every year for the last 8 years and only once was I threatened.
 
Its a derby, the crowd are always going to be a little hostile but on the whole its what you want from an away trip.
 
What Scarlet fans don't realise is that with a very small number we make a far better atmosphere than 15k of theirs!
History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again.

Interesting to see Andrew Brace is reffing this game. When was the last time we had a non-welsh ref for the Ospreys?

   On Scarlets bus brilliant stuff picking up in town 1.15 great planning fair play .

   With regards the Library been hostile,it is a kinder garden compered to to,Ponty,Poola,Neath and Ebbw Vale,while i respect peoples decisions for not going,nothing as trivial as that should stop supporters travelling to support there team,for there biggest away game of the season .

Planning to travel up by car tomorrow but bearing in mind it's likely to be a substantial crowd, I was thinking of trying the Felindre Park & Ride rather that look for street parking closer to the ground.

Does anyone know if there's any shape on the Felindre P&R for getting to/from the ground?

We were kicked out of there last year for singing Sospan Fach, Calon Lan etc. Apparently there were children in there who may be offended. My 9 year old looked a bit perplexed.
