Nice to see Cummins hitting form.  When he first arrived he was excellent. Let’s hope his mojo is back and has a cracker

I have heard worse ideas 157cb. Dan, in his school days, was an excellent centre - 13 and many thought/think he could make it playing there. Hell of a midfield Llandeilo had with Dan & Cory.Big smile

You have a better chance of achieving forward superiority with Lousi at lock IMO

I tend to agree. Ball, Louisi with Tex at 8, Aaron at 6, Mcloud at 7 with Cummins and Casseim on the bench. When you look at the way front row forwards play a huge part in the carrying process with other teams I can't help feel that we are underpowered in that area. From the little I have seen  Sebastian seems our best carrier. It also seems time for Ryan to be given more starts. He is our biggest and most effective carrying 2.

Cummins played well last 2 games. 4 strong second rows.

Let's not go for the sort of light/mobile pack we started against Edinburgh. I'd even be tempted to include Jac Morgan whose performance against France U20 in atrocious conditions was exemplary.
Let's start with Tex and Cummins, MacLeod, Morgan and Cassiem and if, somehow, we manage to be camped on the Munster line swap Tex for Cassiem in the scrum - who knows he might have better luck in crashing over.

Wouldn't you have Louisi ahead of Cummins with Cummins on the bench. 

My forwards for the game would be :-

1. Price 2. Taylor 3. Samson/Sebastian 4. Louisi 5. Tex 6. Aaron 7. McLoud 8 Casseim
16. Jones/Phillips 17. Dylan 18. Werner 19. Cummins 20 Rawlins 21. Dan

Its clearly going to be a slugfest and kicking will be key. AOB, Dan & hopefully Patchell all to be in the 23. I would be very tempted to start with Evans at 9.

They have had two easy games this is the best opportunity to catch them napping.

Neither have cared that much for Scarlets for 18 months.

and I thought player release would improve when Pivac and Steve got the Wales jobs. Disappointed.

Lets hope we have practised what we were poor against Edinburgh - maximising our opportunities in the red zone. In all fairness AOB & Dan couldn't have kicked much better than they did in poor conditions against Edinburgh. A repeat would do nicely.

Bad for Scarlets as the Munster guys will be released back no doubt. Bad news and an unfair scenario ( although winning away was going to be a big challenge for us minus internationals )😕
 
They played last Sunday so it is unlikely.
They will have this weekend off and probably have a run out next weekend instead.
Hopefully your right 👍

Munster don't have any games after Saturday until 20th March Benetton away and that will probably be cancelled.
Munster fully loaded then ? 🤔😱
