Ross Moriarty

Yes.

As I said, he would be Ross M- he would be the new Ross Moriarty if he was about 20 kilos heavier.

Yeah.

It, he's the male equivalent of Briony King.

Yeah, but he might just get a red card.

Remember the last time Ross Moriarty got a red card against a Welsh

team? Didn't he get a red card when he was playing for the Dragons against the Scarlets?

No, he got a yellow card because he got punched by California.

Yeah, he did.

I think he deserved it.

Presumably just for being Ross Moriarty.

Just for being there.

A few of them were trying to work out who had played for Wales and who was who in the Ospreys team.

And the new Moriarty, and that was sort of like the only player they were certain on.

But they kept seeing Harry Hewson going, he's definitely played for Wales, hasn't he? He's definitely one of the internationals.

And you want to be like, no, he is, you know, third or fourth choice.

Nice pick and go half break.

Lovely, lovely offload to Keith who does the right thing and takes contact.

Lovely offload to Davis who then, you know, gets off to Tommy Rogers who would, you know, who has Ross Moriarty clamped onto him and drive him over to the line.

So, you know, that's a great trend and there's clearly conscious effort to

You don't want to overanalyse it too much.

But yeah, I thought Ross Moriarty looked really hungry out there.

I thought he made some really good hits.

We looked pretty stacked in the back row.

And I do also believe it's the same for Morgan Morse.

And if you look at the players he's coming up against, I do appreciate that as a ceiling, you could argue he's got one of the highest ceilings.

But if he's coming up against people like Ross Moriarty, Jack Morgan, obviously he's gone now, but Jack Morgan historically, Morgan Morris, who's consistently been in and around our best player of the season, James Ratty, who I believe was our player of the season last year, Harry Deaves has been breaking through.

We've got so much depth in the back row.

I'll, I'll give one example.

So Ross Moriarty-

Yeah

... hurt his ankle.

Yeah.

So team one, you've got Cameron Jones, Evan Daniel Key and higher locks, Lewis Jones and Hugh Sutton, James Ratty, who's co-captain Ross Moriarty, Morgan Morse.

That's a decent back row.

Luke Davis, captain, my favorite thing we've ever, ever done.

So Lawson Crichton, making his debut, one of the big Australian signings from the offseason, will be playing 10, which is exciting.

Get a look at him, get a look at how he's going, how he's settling in.

You've got plenty of kind of regular first teamers, the James Ratty, Morgan Morse, Ross Moriarty.

All playing there in a way I perhaps didn't expect so many of them out.
