🎉🏉 Get ready for a festive rugby face-off! The Scarlets and the Ospreys are squaring up for a classic west Wales derby this Boxing Day at 5:30 pm. It’s set to be a thrilling showdown despite the off-field uncertainties looming over Welsh rugby.
However, the Scarlets will have to do without key players, captain Josh MacLeod and Wales full-back Blair Murray. But fear not, as hooker Ryan Elias is stepping up as captain for this high-stakes match! He’s ready to lead his team in what promises to be an action-packed game.
Ellis Mee will be taking the full-back position, while Joe Roberts slots in on the left wing. Alec Hepburn is starting at loosehead due to Kemsley Mathias’s groin injury. Plus, keep an eye on the bench for Josh Morse and fly-half Elis Price making potential debuts!
The Ospreys, currently at the bottom of the United Rugby Championship, are hungry for a win. Dewi Lake leads the charge with a determined team behind him, featuring stars like Steffan Thomas and Rhys Henry in the front row and a formidable backline trio.
Scarlets don’t just want the win; they want to make it a derby to remember! Head Coach Dwayne Peel expects a physical battle and a lively crowd. Meanwhile, Ospreys’ chief Mark Jones heralds the match as an epitome of Welsh rugby’s passionate rivalries.
