Scarlets v Zebre team

Scarlets team to face Zebre Parma on Friday, March 20 

15 Blair Murray; 14 Tom Rogers, 13 Macs Page, 12 Johnny Williams, 11 Ellis Mee; 10 Carwyn Leggatt-Jones, 9 Archie Hughes; 1 Kemsley Mathias, 2 Ryan Elias, 3 Archer Holz, 4 Sam Lousi, 5 Max Douglas, 6 Jarrod Taylor, 7 Josh Macleod (capt), 8 Fletcher Anderson.

Reps: 16 Marnus van der Merwe, 17 Henry Thomas, 18 Gabe Hawley, 19 Jac Price, 20 Dan Davis, 21 Dane Blacker, 22 Joe Hawkins, 23 Ioan Jones.

Perhaps Macs Page needs a better passer of the ball inside him to make an impact. If Johnny Williams fails to break through bring Hawkins on early in the second half and give Macs the lisence to chip and chase.

Looks like Hepburn, SOC, and Morse all injured.

Our small squad size is hamstringing us. £4.5m is nowhere near enough.

No players leap out at me from the Zebre team as being dangerous tbh, although I did at first think Ruggeri was former French wing Aurelien Rougerie.... turns out he's 45 now so probably won't be turning out for Zebre lol Zebre: Belloni; Batista, Zanon, Mazza, Gesi; Da Re, Garcia; Buonfiglio, Ribaldi, Pieretto, Canali, Ortombina, Stavile, Bianchi, Ferrari. Replacements: Quattrini, Pitinari, Neculai, Ruggeri, Odiase, Dominguez, Roger Farias, Bertaccini.

What are they thinking down there? I’ve checked his stats and unless I’m mistaken he has never worn the Number 1 jersey in a professional match.  I think I’d rather Henry came on as tight head and Hawley loose head. We know Henry can lock out the right hand side of a scrum. I’ve seen Hawley struggle in his favoured position on a couple of occasions so at least we’d only be weak on one side of the scrum with Hawley at loose head. We might be weak on both sides if Henry plays there.
