Bath start as favourites. They will be very tough to beat on their own ground.
See you there!

That night was a massive storm in llanelli it was absurd to have even played in it, reminded me of the game at stradey with the 89 all blacks. as for the teams theyre missing the second best number 8 in the world, were missing the best 13 in the world , barclay and cubby are back though and beirne in the boiler house, though overall theyre missing 5 and were missing 3 Plus form wise we have won 5 in a row they have lost 4 of their last 6 Edited by roy munster - 11 January 2018 at 12:41pm |

looking at today's team and the team for 1st game v Bath, we are significantly stronger in the forwards @ 1-8 and 16-20. Our backs are slightly weaker as so much of our game comes through Steff although I think that's why Asquith has been selected @ 13 as he overs the same sort of skills and awareness as Steff, what we will miss is JD defensive quality's out in the wide channels but we've got Cubby there for that so on balance I think we are as strong as a 23 tomorrow maybe even slightly stronger than the 1st meeting.

You’ve really got to admire the coaches for picking form players. Prydie and Asquith deserve their starting spots and further enforces the idea that no-ones place is guaranteed. Feels like the culture at the region is spot on!

Agreed, despite loss of ball, our pack is a lot stronger, barclay and cubby back, beirne at lock instead of 8, Rob evans was out then too. Samson fitter now too. Backs we are weaker as foxy and steff out, on the upside prydie and asquith have shown form and hapenny has settled more into our style. weather is also a massive factor. weve just won 5 in a row in some of the filthiest weather imaginable so were developing a tougher edge and all court game

Agreed it seems like a vibrant healthy culture based on form and opportunity and good coaching

That’s a very decent looking 23. I hope Halfpenny and McNicholl genuinely are fit and that they haven’t just been named in the team as a smokescreen.
I would’ve started Parkes, with Asquith on the wing ahead of Prydie, and gone with Cummins and Boyde on the bench ahead of Rawlins and Macleod, but they’re all playing well so I’m sure they won’t let us down. It should be a great match. |

What he's trying to say is that he's heard he's not fit. Yet the BBC are saying that he's been passed fit. Find all this very frustrating, and I can only guess that they're giving him as much time as possible to prove his fitness then say that he broke down in the warm up. But what about McNicholl? Do we carry a 25th man? How many can break down in the warm up and be replaced? I know we travel with a 24th man normally in the league anyone know the regulations?

Tim are you assuming that SA14 is correct - if so why? Has he spoken to Pivac or Leigh? If not then I don't believe it. Lets face it yesterday someone posted that Aaron had confirmed that Jonny was out having picked up a knock on Tues/Wed. I have got to the stage, with due respect to all posters, that I don't believe anything until it is confirmed directly by a Scarlet official.

Halfpenny and McNicholl now ruled out, apparently.
That’s a huge blow. |
