| Gethin Jenkins, Mike Phillips and Nick Robinson all return from the Welsh squad and are included in the starting fifteen. However Rhys Thomas, Martyn Williams and Robert Sidoli could not be considered for selection.
“Obviously it’s a big game for us and we’re all looking forward to the match after a long period of inactivity. The Ospreys, I’m sure will be really hurting after our victory over them before Christmas and will be looking for revenge. We had a great performance that night but the Ospreys are still a good side and are not Celtic League Champions for nothing,” said Young. “Jonah Lomu has tweaked his hamstring so we didn’t want to risk him for this match and Andy Powell has stitches in his hand. However it’s great to have the Welsh squad players back who are eager to get back in to action.”
