Not confident for this game. Blues backs , particularly the back 3 have a lot of pace, where our back 3 have not. Get in behind us and we will be in trouble.

Both sides having to make a change: Lewis Rawlins drops out, Barclay replaces him on the bench. Seb Davies is ill, he's replaced by George Earle. James Down comes onto the bench.

I think that we may have got the better of that exchange. Seb is very mobile and jackals well. George isn't as mobile and whilst experienced tends to go missing at times.

It benefits us, without a doubt!

If the Blues continue to do that ( run in to us with limited support) it will be a turnover fest.

Kruger and prydie have been our best players, our tackling is so light and ineffective.

Tackling really well but suffering in line out, something to fix in second half, we are better then them!


Posted By: Guests
Date Posted: 31 December 2017 at 4:06pm
Lineout and lack of linespeed is a problem for us. Can’t get Cubby and Tadhg into the game. Awful decision on the disallowed try.


Posted By: s.pimpernel
Date Posted: 31 December 2017 at 4:07pm
I`ll take that at half time. Clancy has had a big influence on the game with a try that wasn`t and a try that was (for me anyway).

Poor game overall.

Posted By: PritchyTheScarlet

Two poor decisions, one on Blues’ first try, where Jenkins never actually grounded the ball, and for our second try, which was perfectly good. Too many errors from us, need to get rid of them second half and use the wind.

Really poor half from us. Basics have let us down, we can't get any territory or possession if we miss lineouts, miss kicks to touch etc.

I've seen enough from Cummins, he was a complete passenger in that half. Offered nothing at the breakdown, passive defender, low work rate and the less said about his maul defence the better - weak would be one word to describe it. Get Bulbring on quickly.

Hopefully we can cut out the errors and get some territory second half. We are quite lucky to be within one score. Don't deserve it.

It's all about Clancy! 

A big half now from us. Can't understand why we aren't competing for the ball on their throws.

Matthew Rees threw a punch on Wyn and nothing was made of it.

Few forward passes and Clancy doesn't give them.

They lose control at a scrum we get the ball and score a try, perfectly good try and it's not given.

Gareth Davies is standing up well. Well done Tom Prydie on his efforts so far

Very, very sloppy first half from us. Our maul defence has gone backwards and we can string two phases together in attack. Our lack of carriers is hurting us.
Our defence is very passive as well.
We might nick this but we are way off where we need to be.

Let's see how the elements impact our game in the 2nd half, but unless we sort our lineout ( both our and the opposition throw) we aren't going to win this.
Bulbring, Ken, Rob and Bardclay to come on after 55 I suspect.

Date Posted: 31 December 2017 at 4:21pm
well the cardiff try wasnt and the fact he didnt look at the replay is a disgrace
the scarlets disallowed try is a mystery the scrum was decimated , it went around 90 degrees their back row picked it cubby tackled him they lost the ball and we scored, I think the ref claimed that cubby wasnt bound but he was bound up until the last second when it turned 90 degrees at which point the scrum fell to pieces. 
overall though lineout is a shambles and blues driving maul is good, math rees bossing it, need to tighten up and we need patch to take over

I'm nearly as one eyed as the rest of us but Cardiff try was fine (grounded by Jenkins and Asst Ref called it) and Cubby had broken his binding before the ball was out and it had turned 90 so correct to rule out our try IMO
