Exciting times ahead for Welsh rugby fans! Ross Moriarty is set to make his long-awaited debut for the Ospreys this weekend against Exeter Chiefs in Bridgend. The 54-cap Welsh international has returned home after a stint with French club Brive, and he’s ready to leave a mark on his hometown club.
Gear up for a thrilling match as the Ospreys, under Mark Jones’ guidance, prepare for their United Rugby Championship opener later this month. This Saturday’s pre-season friendly is their only scheduled warm-up, so expect the team to put on a show.
The Ospreys’ line-up features Max Nagy at full-back, with Luke Morgan and Iestyn Hopkins completing the dynamic back-three. In the centre, Connor Moyse teams up with Wales international Keiran Williams for some midfield magic. Jack Walsh leads from fly-half, while Luke Davies takes on the scrum-half position.
In the forward pack, watch out for the combined force of Steffan Thomas, Lewis Lloyd, and Rhys Henry in the front-row, supported by Rhys Davies and James Fender at lock. Moriarty joins Harri Deaves and Morgan Morse in a formidable back-row.
There’s plenty of intrigue not just in the Ospreys’ squad but also in the Exeter Chiefs’ line-up. They’ve named two distinct XVs for each half, featuring players with Welsh connections, including Christ Tshiunza in the first half and exciting prospects Zack Wimbush and Kane James in the second.
Kick-off is at 3pm at Brewery Field – don’t miss this chance to see some of the best talents in action!
