Six Ospreys start against All Blacks

By Six Ospreys start against All Blacks
Wales coach Warren Gatland has named half a dozen Ospreys to start against New Zealand at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday, with a further four among the replacements.
Lee Byrne, James Hook, Mike Phillips start in the back line, while the three Joneses, Adam, Alun Wyn and Ryan are included in the pack. On the bench, Gatland includes Huw Bennett, Paul James, Jonathan Thomas and Andrew Bishop.
Blues wing Tom James goes straight into the starting line-up while both Ryan and Dan Lydiate (Dragons) shift positions in a back row re-shuffled to accommodate Blues flanker Sam Warburton on the openside and Jones at No 8.
Warburton's return from injury is a boost to head coach Warren Gatland's squad, as is his regional colleague Gethin Jenkins' return to fitness - both from calf injuries - in time to face the All Blacks.
"Back row is one position where we have a great deal of competition for places, with Dan Lydiate going particularly well at the moment,"said Gatland.
"Sam Warburton gets his chance to start and Ryan Jones, having not played a lot of rugby this season, has a chance to play at No 8, but we are also conscious that we have a strong bench to call on to come on and make an impact in that area.
"With the likes of Martyn Williams, Andy Powell and Jonathan Thomas all giving us options.
"We have tried something a little different in that area with a five/two split as we know we will need to be at maximum intensity for the full 80 minutes against the All Blacks.
"Gethin Jenkins is back in the front row, Matthew Rees also returns and with Adam Jones in the best shape I've seen him in we know we are strong there.
"We are very happy with the tight five and we have two young physical locks who are getting better with every game.
"Tom James was injured when we named the squad at the start of the series, but he did well for the Blues last Friday night in the game against Ulster, scoring a try in a game they should have won. He has genuine pace and that along with size and physicality and some experience at this level are what we are going to need against New Zealand.
"We were all disappointed last week when we made a number of changes which we thought we could cope with. We found out we couldn't, but we hope to be back firing on all cylinders this week. "
Meanwhile, Nikki Walker has retained his place in the starting line-up for Scotland against Samoa in his home town of Aberdeen, while Tommy Bowe will be hoping to get the nod when the Ireland team to play face Argentina on Sunday is named tomorrow.
