🏉🏆 Rugby fans, brace yourselves! It’s derby day in west Wales as the Scarlets lock horns with the Ospreys at Parc y Scarlets at 5:30 PM. Could this be the last showdown between the two rivals in Llanelli? With talks of cutting professional teams, this match has everyone pondering the future of Welsh rugby.
Both teams are off to a rough start this season. The Ospreys are languishing at the bottom of the United Rugby Championship, with Scarlets only slightly ahead. But today’s clash is anyone’s game!
The Ospreys are bolstered by the return of Ross Moriarty at No. 8, though they miss Wales’ Gareth Thomas. Lining up with Moriarty are James Ratti and Harri Deaves in the backrow, with Huw Sutton and Ryan Smith at lock. Kieran Hardy and Dan Edwards will be navigating the ship at half-backs.
For the Scarlets, captain Josh Macleod is sidelined, but Ryan Elias will step up to lead the charge. With key players like Sam Costelow out, the Scarlets have a fresh combo on the field including Johnny Williams and talismanic Joe Hawkins at number 10.
Expect a cracker of a match, with highlights likely front and centre on S4C and Premier Sports. Whether you’re rooting for Scarlets or Ospreys, it’s a derby not to miss. Who are you backing? 💬👇
