Ospreys 20-6 Scarlets. 27 Dec. 2008

A full house of 20,000 watched the home side record a victory over their local rivals. The Ospreys were in control for most of the game, especially the second half and I expected more points from them. Mike Phillips recovery process is going well and he scored a try. Ryan Jones also managed to score a try late in the game after some dominant play. One player that had a solid game was Richard Hibbard. He should get some more game time during the Six Nations. He's an outside bet for a place on the Lions tour. Talking of the Lions tour, the Ospreys have a quite a large number that could get selected for the squad. In the backs Hook, Phillips, Henson, Byrne, Williams and Bowe all look good bets for the squad. Alun Wyn Jones and Ryan Jones look shoe-ins for the squad from the forwards.

My man of the match: Hibbard
