Rhodri Jones: Wales call up Ospreys prop as selection issues mount - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/42172246

Wales decision to play a 4th game and chase the money is coming back to bite them on the arse as almost all their English based players are unavailable. Particularly struggling for props.

They do it every year and then struggle for players

Hopefully the Warriors game doesn't turn into the Nigel Owens show.


He's noticeable calmed down on that. Recently when I've seen him he's just been a quality official.

I worry for the Edinburgh game. Hopefully Cockerill has added a bit more more consistency, but recently they've been a team always likely to slip up to a minnow away.

Has anyone managed to catch the team for Cardiff?  Can't mind it off the top of my head but they have a few absentees too with the internationals, plus the injured Sam Warburton.  However, they'll prove to be tricky opposition as always.  Nick Williams starts at 8.  He's an absolute war machine who can cause damage.  He needs to be watched.
