Owen Watkin: Wales centre set for Ospreys return after 11 months out

Watkin’s return is a huge boost to Wales, who have started with Eddie James, Nick Tompkins, Ben Thomas, Max Llewellyn, Johnny Williams, Joe Hawkins and Joe Roberts in midfield since his injury.

It also gives a lift to Ospreys as they look to build on their win against Connacht by beating Montauban before a home United Rugby Championship fixture against Munster and festive derbies versus Scarlets and Cardiff.

“Owen was a defensive leader for me and his expertise and diligence of his craft is very good,” said Jones, who was promoted to head coach after previously being in charge of defence.

“He is one of the best defenders in the league in the 13 channel and is also a very skillful guy with a huge engine.

“He brings a lot to the team and is a great character with his energy and care for the group.”

Ospreys will rotate their squad for the trip to France with Wales fly-half Dan Edwards set for a break after starting against Connacht fresh from wearing 10 on his back in all four autumn internationals.

Montauban, who are one from bottom of the Top 14, lost 41-17 to Zebre in Parma in their Challenge Cup opener.
