Ospreys vs Treviso

[Sandydragon]

21-3 to the Ospreys thus far. The Italians ate buy diamonds awful against a largely second string Ospreys side.

Should be a cricket score here.

Odd piano music and kids singing. In the Library, it sounds almost ghostly.

Not sure whats worse at the moment, the noise in the background, Treviso or Tulip's "insight" on the match.

Some of the commentary has been utterly dire, apparently Dan Baker is a back.

It now sounds like a karaoke competition is going on in the stands.

....and what is this paaahhsing he speaks of? Must have been taking elocution lessons.

Sounds stupid to say, but the O's seemed to make hard work of that. They still seem less than the sum of their parts this season, never as good as good as they should be.

Not very meaningful but always satisfying to put someone to the sword, even if it is only Treviso.

Very much so.

They have quite a lot of injuries at the moment, but all in all they have a pretty decent squad if you include the signings for next year. The problem is that there have been a few recent signings that don't really add that much to the squad and only really seem to have been made to keep the WRU happy. The money for Lydiate could have been better spent elsewhere, and I'm struggling to see the logic of bringing in Rhodri Jones as a TH. Then if Brad comes too, they will have brought in another player who will miss big chunks of the season with Wales alongside his second row partner in AWJ and in reality neither are a great middle jumper. Far better to spend that money on a player who will not be missing for large parts of the season and can be the element of consistency when AWJ disappears with Wales.
The one area that could do with a bit more strength in depth is the back three and more specifically FB.

Amos might be a good signing, as it would also allow him the chance to play at FB, which is where I see his future.
