Here is my team to face Zebra on Friday 
15 - Jac Davies - I think he's a great player
14- Tom Rogers - Should be free having not featured for Wales in the 6 nations
13 - Joe Roberts - getting back to his best
12 - Johnny Williams - we need more from him
11 - Tomi Lewis - I'd pick him for his pace
10 - Carwyn Leggat Jones - bags of potential
9 - Gareth Davies - for his experience
8- Fletcher Anderson - quiet against Connacht but he's been a great signing
7 - Josh McCloud - we need him for his jackle technique 
6- Max Douglas - I thought he did well vs Connacht, didn't back down
5 - Sam Lousi - for his experience
4- Jake Ball - for his experience
3- Archer Holz - our best scrummager at tighthead
2- Marnus Van Der Merwe - he did well against Connacht I thought, didn't back down
1- Kelmsley Mathias -we need him to step up
Bench
16 - Harry Thomas - if Ryan is not available 
17- Alec Hepburn- for his experience
18-Henry Thomas - for his experience
19- Jac Price - he also needs to step up
20 - Jarrod Taylor - brings physicality off the bench
21 - Dane Blacker - I'd go for Dane who seems the quickest of our 9s
22 - Ieuan Jones - scored a great try vs Connacht, I thought he did well or Blair Murray if he's available 
23- Macs Page - for his pace later on 

I've not included Ryan, Eddie, Ellis and Joe after they played for Wales yesterday

Now Six Nations is done, Id hope we see at least Tom Rogers & Josh McLeod in starting side. 

Possibly Blair Murray too.

Ryan Elias ok for bench spot on Friday. 

We ok in centres so can possibly rest at least one of Eddie James and Joe Hawkins, if not both.

Not sure of Sams fitness but this is a good opportunity to give him another week and give more minutes to CLJ at ten. Mee, who was very good against Italy can have a break too. 

Must win though.

Really? I thought the senior boys were awful, the season is gone maybe time to give the youth a shot bemused how Blacker isn't getting a look in ,but why would you include players who are moving on? Unless it would be hugely detrimental I wouldn't even bench them irrelevant. 
Maybe less Marnus as Harry Thomas won't be strong enough for the scrum and would put massive pressure on the props,as you say Kemsley needs to step up and Henry.....for me is done cant see what he brings he's a liability now,was very good last year,but now a shadow. 
Jake and Sam need to redeem themselves and I think Anderson is aloud a quiet game!

The season might be over realistically but we have to build into next season , weve got 6 games left, 4 being at home, we need to target atleast 4 wins at home and possibly a win in Bridgend

We've got 2 games then 3 weeks off, we need to go full strength unless any of the returning players are carrying injuries, whilst also rewarding some form, and I think we need to start picking a more mobile pack.

I'd go:

Mee
Murray
Joe Roberts
Eddie
Rogers
Costelow
Archie
Fletcher
Josh
Plumtree/Jarrod
Douglas
Lousi
Henry
Elias
Kemsley

Think Eddie needs a rest. Maybe Mee, as we have good wing cover anyways.

Agree with the sentiment. Season is over, but we still have to put on a show for fans and sponsors and give people a reason to to renew their STs.

Good point, Wasp.

If our pack isn’t mobile already, why hasn’t it being winning more scrum penalties? Genuine question.

Home for the week. Two Qs, as nobody is picking the phone up at PyS - quelle surprise.

What are the shop opening times this week? Want to get a jersey.
I assume I can walk up and buy a ticket on Friday?

Google search says that shop hours are 9-5.30. There have been some sales on kit recently, but not sure which ones.

Yes you can walk up and buy a ticket on the day, but it is a little more expensive than buying in advance. Ticket office is usually open, try 01554 292939. 

Hope this helps.
