Pathetic from the Ospreys. The sooner Johnson goes the better, hopefully followed by Holley and possible Humphreys. To re-itorate the duck, why is Tom Smith playing every game ahead of Ryan Jones (although Ryan was suffering from a bug I believe, and couldn't train for much of the week), and Bearman? And the bloody insistance of playing Jon Thomas out of position at 8. Thomas is still a decent regional player, but he's a f****ng blindside flanker, not an 8th man!
I can't begin to fathom the reason for picking Eli Walker over Shane, unless they'd already given up on making it through to the Amlin. I like Walker, I think he's got a big future, but talk about chucking him in at the deep-end! He's barely had any Pro12 action, yet they dicide to start him away at Biarritz, in front of Shane. Well done, you tools.
Seriously, I'm massively p**sed off after this match. Not because the O's lost, but in the manner of the loss, and the selection policy that's been messed up for a while. Their miss-management of Hook, Phillips and Byrne (especially Phillips) was just a glimpse at what was wrong at the Ospreys. They did ok at the start of the season when everyone were missing their players at the WC, but that's because they've got shed loads of quality youngsters who stepped-up and were a cut above their oppositions. Now that everyone else have their big players back, the Ospreys are struggling.
4. plays Hibbard above Bennett despite Bennett being on his best form ever at the World Cup, and Hibbard looking like he spent his injury lay off making a new edition Supersize me and only eating McDonald's

Yes, he is not good enough. He is playing in the Welsh premiership and doing well enough, but doesn't seem to be outstanding beyond that.The ospreys were aweful. Closer to Aironi than Leinster on that performance.
Is there a justifiable reason for the lack of game time Chauncey O´Toole has been recieiving?

Ha, yeah maybe. I'd take King over both though.
A backrow of Smith, O'Toole, Thomas is a frightening prospect, and also possible!
Don't give Johnson any more ideas!
Doesn't matter. Annual Rodney Parade Ospreys hunt has happened, so the Ospreys can select whomever they want.Don't give Johnson any more ideas!
