United Rugby Championship: Six things Welsh rugby learned from opening weekend

Date:

A positive for Ospreys, who had dominated the vast majority of the derby, was the display of Jack Walsh.

Deployed at full-back, the natural number ten was Ospreys’ most creative player and played a hand in both Ospreys tries as well covering his defensive duties.

“Jack was outstanding. We play a multi-receiver game and we rely on other players to step in at times and he delivered on the tactical side of the game,” said head coach Tony Booth.

Ryan Conbeer was another to impress, not least with his try, as he looks to secure a longer-term deal beyond an initial two-month contract after being released by Scarlets in the summer.

“He’s been given a second chance and has really got the bit between his teeth,” said Booth.

“He’s a busy player, has scored some good tries and is having an impact so he could potentially stay longer. We want to keep good Welsh players as long as we can.”
