Pitman To Captain Young Ospreys Under 18's

With regular captain Jack Shaw (pictured) unavailable because of injury Head Coach Phil John and his assistants have given the responsibility to No 8 Rory Pitman (pictured).

John commented that "Pitman was back to his best form in our last game and we feel this added responsibility will bring an even better performance out of him". The team was very impressive in a high scoring performance over the Scarlets, however, that is in the past and if they are to achieve their aim of winning the Reebok Final in late December; then they need to maintain those high standards.

Team: Young Ospreys Under 18"s v Dragons at St Helens, Swansea on Wednesday 8th November kick off 7.15pm
