Stunning performance by the Ospreys, finding a way, as Toby Booth used to say. They tend to pull out one or 2 performances a season that suggest that there could be a better Welsh team in a year or two. I agree with the standout players on your list, but Will Spencer has been impressive since he signed.
As the topic is ‘European Rugby’, the Toulouse demolition of Leicester at the weekend was pretty scary. As if France v Wales was not already causing me sleepless nights !

Spencer hadn't really caught my eye previously but he was good on the weekend, with a fantastic line break.
Hope this all means that Jones has found a way to get a few extra % out of them.

Instant revenge for the Ospreys against the Scarlets. That's what a full strength team can do and looking even better with players coming back from injury - Beard, Fender and Rhys Davies (what is this, a player who can carry?? And he can play at 6 too). Outstanding first half and a good enough second.
Cardiff played well and deserved a close scoreline than that. Connacht just keep coming at you.

Ospreys vs scarlets was a cracking game for the neutral. Some of the skills levels were iffy at times but that’s how you send a message. Powerful ospreys from the off and you’re right to pick out Rhys Davies, I thought he had a very good game. His offload for the first try was very nice.
The first Scarlets try was nice to watch, but their back line just lived on scraps for much of the game.
