Great if we could but he will want to play in Prem. Big aggressive lump.

Is there a suggestion of a rip or a last touch by Mee?  Difficult to judge, unless seen frame by frame.  Should have been looked at though.

I thought it looked dodgy at the time. Not surprised though.
The TV coverage did not replay on the big screen and perhaps Josh could have had a word.
It was a crucial moment in the game as well!!!Angry

Christ Tshiunza is returning from a broken foot, worth seeing if we can give him minutes for Exeter? It’s helps both parties.

At the time I thought maybe a rip but was surprised they didn't take a closer look.

Really pleased with how selection panned out in the gameplan, we still did some smart box kicking but played everything at a higher tempo and sometimes just the confidence given by selecting youngsters to have a go can translate into the whole team having a bit more about them (same for the Glasgow game).

We played with less fear and a few decisions go our way and we can win that, thought our line speed was really good too and the commentators could have given our defence a bit more credit rather than just putting it down to handling errors their side, many of which were forced.

Would be very Scarlets to sign a player that has no idea if they are a 4, 5, 6 or 7!!
Do you think Martyn Madden would marry me?

He'd only have the Dragons left then!

Tshiunza has flattered to deceive IMO. Was talked about as a future star a few years ago but has never impressed in the Welsh jersey.  Added to the fact that he has been injury prone, I wouldn't want the Scarlets to go for him at all.  If he's been released by Exeter that speaks volumes.

As ever a great day out with the Scarlets.

Very impressed by the Northampton set up, fans were great to interact with, and they clearly enjoyed us being there and bringing our hwyl.

The hospitality sector also benefitted!

We asked that the boys put up a good account of themselves, and that they did. Costelow was a positive influence, but we also upticked line speed, and fronted up to the Saints pack. We had our issues at scrum time admittedly, and our discipline let us down at times, but overall we came to the Prem leaders ground and earned their respect.

When was the last time he played SR? Used more as a 7 with Exter. No thanks.

Rumours online that Ospreys have signed Cuckson as well.

Watch Cuckson be a monster for the Ospreys and never get carded. 

Christ is a bit meh give me an out and out player I think we sign too many hybrid players.

What’s peoples options on our Scrum the whole front 5 have to be looked at my thoughts are that our locks are underpowered or is it the props are average Scrummagers and not helped by the locks.

Agree. Rarely have a proper hard lock in Llanelli.
