Pools 4 - 6 from here:
 
 
This is what PR says about us:
 
"And finally, Pool underdogs the Scarlets boast Jonathan Davies, Rhys Priestland and John Barclay in their team but will surely not have enough quality to trouble these three outfits in the battle for a last eight spot. It promises to be a tough campaign for the Welsh region."

Bring. It. On.

I was at Franklin's Gardens two years ago to see a great bonus point win against the odds, and I'll be at the Stoop this Saturday hoping to witness the underdogs bite back once again. Quins look shaky to me... Wink

Exactly! And with all us fans out-singing the whole ground spurring them on. It could be another famous away day, and I for one cannot wait.

I believe the city slickers will underestimate you. A narrow Scarlet win might be on the cards which will set you up nicely and prove to be a confidence booster.

Today felt better than the stuffing administered then.
Anyone agree?

At least Planet Rugby mentioned us. The Times did a HEC preview on Friday and they managed to discuss our pool without mentioning us at all. Not a single reference apart from having us in the list of teams in the pool.

Buy the Times today. We're front page "Scarlet Fever" and lead articles.

Brilliant, isn't it?

The Sunday Times is always fair in its rugby coverage - possibly because of Stephen Jones. The Times, however, completely ignores anything other than English rugby (although I could have sworn that Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are part of the UK and part of the paper's circulation). What makes me laugh is that their correspondents don't report on Rabo games but are suddenly experts on form and players in that league when it comes to previewing the HEC pools.

What surprised me last night was they showed our tries on BBC English news at 10:15.
To be a Scarlet is as good as it gets
