🏉 Big Clash Alert! 🏉
Get ready for an action-packed New Year’s Day derby as the Dragons take on the Scarlets, kicking off at 3 pm! đź•’ The stage is set at Rodney Parade for a thrilling Welsh showdown.
Meet the standout stars: Dragons’ head coach Filo Tiatia has hailed young guns like Harry Beddall, who shone against Connacht and will now face off against Scarlets’ skipper, Josh Macleod. 🙌 With four team changes, Beddall is joined by the fit-again Oli Burrows up front and David Richards makes his welcome return on the wing.
Scarlets are gearing up with six changes after their narrow Boxing Day defeat to Ospreys. Dwayne Peel is shuffling his team with Ioan Nicholas back from injury at full-back. Look out for Joe Roberts and Eddie James forming a dynamic duo in the centre, while Kemsley Mathias is back in action, ready to make an impact up front. đź’Ş
Plus, keep an eye on the bench where we might witness veteran prop Wyn Jones reaching a remarkable 100 URC matches for the Dragons. Similarly, Scarlets’ Sam Lousi is set for his 100th cap in Scarlets colours! 🎉
Coach Tiatia is pumped: “It’s another Welsh derby. We’ll represent Gwent proudly on New Year’s Day with a buzzing crowd at home.” Peel’s response? “We’re ready to bounce back and face the Dragons with renewed energy.”
