Questions that would be asked no doubt is couuld they be better than current options? They are nowhere near match hardened and have not picked up any sort of form. Foxy up in Leicester for example was targeted... His first game back and tuilagi had a field day against him from what I remember. Could do us more harm than good. We potentially have 80mins left of the season... Is a player who's had no part in the season better than macloed for example who's played all season. Is a player who's been out with a head injury since November a better choice than cassiem who I feel is getting better. If their in great, but I'm not sold on it. If there's an aggrevation and their out long term again.... Is it worth it. If coaches think it is then fair enough. Edited by PE SA - 25 April 2019 at 9:45am |

He tweeted that it would be good to see them both back in a Scarlets jersey, but no mention of this Saturday ! It suggests he is talking about next season when they are both fully fit and firing.

I trust the medics!
They've both been our for a long time and I don't think there can be any accusations of "rushing"! We have to put on a great performance at JD. Regardless of the rest of season this will be the first time many of the casual fans in Wales will see us this season! And if we end up in a playoff for RCC qualification, that game could be worth a huge amount in future funding from WRU and our sponsors. |

He was asked a direct question, after his post by a Scarlets fan, if both are playing Saturday. He replied yes. I personally don't know though, just commenting to what Paul Williams released on Twitter. |

Genuine question here. Why is it that Werner and Hadleigh rarely seem to get injured ? |

A friend of mine heard that they were hoping to give these players game time for the RFC this weekend with a view to playing them in the play off if we make it. |

Bringing back players after a long lay-off is risky, as they won't be match fit... it just might be worth playing Shingler for a half (if fit) to improve the line-out, but are we expecting to struggle in that area v Dragons? If not - then not worth it.
The experience with concussion has varied this year - Halfpenny came back looking as good as ever, but Patch struggled at first, though he's looking better now... maybe he came back a week or two early? Overall,then, I would not want to put players in v Dragons after months out... we should be able to win that with our 100% fit players.

Me too! In a few weeks chances are we will play either Ospreys or Blues for a place in next years champions cup. If we want our best team play in that game Blade and Shings need some game time. We are not ones to rush players back in, if they are declared fit i'm very confident that they will of been through a rigorous return to play regime which would of included full contact match scenarios. They both easily get in to our first XV, and for them to be firing for that play off they should have as much game time between now and then as possible. There is so much class in those two it would not surprise me if you saw a MoM display from one of them against the Drags! They will be bouncing to get on that grass!

Congratulations to Blade, who has today been named in Scotland.s RWC training squad which (perhaps surprisingly) doesn't include Duncan Weir or Richie Grey. Former Scarlet John Barclay is named in the squad & looks set to go to his third World Cup.
