The Ospreys have named their squad to face the DHL Stormers in their first BKT URC home game of the season. The fixture will take place at the Dunraven Brewery Field and is kicking off on Saturday 28th September at 7:35pm.

Jac Morgan is set to captain a side. Gareth Thomas starts at loosehead, with Dewi Lake lining up at hooker and Tom Botha completing the front three.

James Ratti partners with Adam Beard at lock. Jac Morgan lines up at six, Justin Tipuric takes up the other flank and Morgan Morris starts at eight.

Reuben Morgan-Williams starts at scrum half in his 100th appearance for the club, with Dan Edwards partnering him at 10. Keiran Williams and Owen Watkin get the nod in the centres.

In the back three, Jack Walsh starts at full back, with Ryan Conbeer on one wing and Luke Morgan on the other.

Head Coach, Toby Booth, said: “The Stormers are a big, physical team that play a slightly different game to the other South African teams. They play positive, have good athletes and will try to stretch you by keeping the game quick.

It’s going to be a defensive challenge for us, which is similar to what we had out there (in the away fixture last season). The good thing is that we’ve experienced it and came away with a win in that type of game, so we’ll be looking to do that again.”
