| Eddie James if Foxy isn’t fit. I like Ioan but he’s not a 12 at all. Might as well push on with Eddie there and see what he can offer, he’s the long term 12 if you ask me, I don’t think JBR can stay fit. |

Anyone going Friday should know there are only tickets left behind the posts. As it's the last game in cork this season they are expecting it to sell out. ------------- I'm sick of it |

That's no surprise as the ground only holds 8,000.

| "Cardiff will benefit from the services of Rhys Carre, Dillon Lewis and Teddy Williams for their match against Ulster on Saturday evening. The Dragons have Leon Brown, Bradley Roberts and Aaron Wainwright back in their ranks to take on Connacht, while Rhys Davies and Keiran Williams return for the Ospreys against Benetton. The Scarlets will not be getting any players released from the Wales camp." |

| Why have they released Carre and not Wyn Jones? Carre has been in the matchday 23 for every match so far. Wyn didn’t make it last week or in week 1. |

No disruption with everyone knowing their roles suits the upcoming fixtures in my eyes. Only Wyn Jones makes an improvement from the fringe players that the WRU would likely release. Not much in it with Costelow and Patchell, and I know who I’d prefer in the current situation.

Knowing how often Dwayne uses the word “consistency”, I expect Will is right and we didn’t request anyone. Considering we already have Jonny W, Josh Mac and Tom Rogers to add to the mix, I’m not really concerned about who Gatland releases, tbh ------------- We're still still here, but I wish we were in an Anglo-Welsh |

| Does that indicate that the players are not asked for because they are not in next year's plans...ken retiring ,patchel off elsewhere , Wyn off to France |

According to the BBC, players have been releasesd for this weekend by Wales, except... 'However, Scarlets will have none of their Wales contingent available at Munster on Friday night.' ------------- Joshua24:15 |

I think Wil may have a valid point. In all honesty which of the 5 Scarlets with the Wales squad would make a difference. You have a winning team who probably played their best rugby of the season. You also have, it appears, Samson, Josh & Johnny Williams closing in on comebacks & certainly training with the group. Lets honestly look at it objectively with absolutely no malice intended towards the International 5. Ken looks worn out from the responsibilities of this Welsh team and negotiations. Young Shaun Evans is full of energy & commitment to the cause whilst being dodgy at throwing ( as Ken is ) & an absolute dog at the breakdown. Wyn has very little gametime & Mathias is progressing nicely both at set piece and around the field. Hardy is behind both Cawdor & Blacker - yes thats my opinion but also Dwayne's bearing in mind recent selections. Patchell has started to find his better form but again now lacks minutes. Costelow is playing well as he has done most of the season. Halfpenny, for me, is the one I would miss the most with his goalkicking and defensive solidity but to win in Cork we are going to need the creativity & adventure that JMac & Steff Evans bring. So in summation in an ideal world I would probably have Ken & Patchell on the bench at best.

| I am not looking for a season defining away win on Friday just more of the same improvements in defence & discipline. Lets give them nothing and make them work for their points. We need to be bold and attack to stay in the fight. A losing bonus point would make me smile for sure. |

GPR be more positive this could be the defining match of the season, a win in Cork is within our capability and I expect us to get a bonus point. Please I agree that we will not be missing any of our internationals apart from Wyn he is a quality operator and would improve most teams. Let’s run them ragged with our youngsters to the fore. ------------- She asks why i still can't answer. I guess its in the blood. |

To have someone of Wyn Jones quality, either to start or come off bench is massive. No comparison, with Stef Thomas. Likewise, Patchell, unless, Gatland intends to start him against the Italians, why the hell hasn't he been released. The guy needs games, and although I feotbaaDah did well,in the SH against , Patch offers somthing extra. Against a side as uncompromising as Munster, therse are the small margins, which can can possibly define success. I think its madness the way the squad is organised, with players sitting on their hands. I suppose why should we be surprised with anything to to with Wales or WRU ------------- I stood yer on tanner bank |

| Wyn of previous seasons I would agree but tell me when Wyn performed at that level. Dwayne has selected Steff Thomas ahead of him before. |

Why - nobody has been more pleased than I to see us starting to play well. i discount the European games to date but our URC games in January/Feb culminating in two excellent home wins against the Bulls & Edinburgh have taken us to a level that we have not been at this season. Having said that this game is in Cork against a team who put 58 points on the Ospreys last time out. For sure a very weakened Ospreys but nevertheless....... For me to think twice about which way this game is going to go equates to a hell of shift in my opinions. Give them a tough game, sneek a point or win preferably and return home uninjured that will do me. We potentially have 3 massive games in April which are the games we need to peak for.

It's Cork not Thomond ...we can do em and yes it is a real tester...but those thoughts have been posted many times on here and this year we done it...im.bloody excited. On another note...when we were fantastic in Europe there were comments of taking the easy route with weaker teams, my thoughts and they still hold true, to be the best you have to beat the best out there....so we have the hardest run in to this season....excellent bring it on. ------------- In 1972, Roy Bergiers scored that try and said "that was for you lofty" "All you have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us" |

Your best post this year Oracle....thats the spirit Men of the West ffs we are the Scarlets with supporters and players with true hearts and fire of the true Welsh people....playing rugby that is known throughout the World and respected, the last Welsh side to down the All Blacks and the best players this Nation can provide in a massive Stadium at its Capital city, cannot surpass that.....if you want to beat the all blacks come down West and ask. We are the Scarlets the biggest heartbeat in Wales. ------------- In 1972, Roy Bergiers scored that try and said "that was for you lofty" "All you have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us" |

Wyn's issues obviously have linked to his ongoing injury problems. Must have been assessed both by Peel, and at national level. Apart from his scrummaging skill, he also has the ability to win turnovers, twice, in his last scarlets match. He has come through an international match, so no arguments against match fitness. In comparison Stef is a decent hardworking squad player, and the depth that sides like Munster possess, we need everything we can at our disposal. ------------- I stood yer on tanner bank |

Wyn gave Zander Fagerson a tough time in the scums in Murrayfield, probably the only part of the game that Wales looks to have an edge.

Ok armed with the above news from Wil I would go with the following 23 :- 15. Jmac 14. Steff Evans 13. Roberts 12. JBR 11. Conbeer 10. Costelow 9. Cawdor 1. Mathias 2. Shaun 3. Wainwright 4. Louisi 5. Morgan Jones 6. Fifita 7. Dan Davis 8. Sione 16. Taylor 17. Steff Thomas 18. Javan/O'Connor 19. Carwyn 20. Josh 21. Blacker 22. Dan 23. Eddie James. Both Tom Rogers & Ioan are unlucky - I just feel Eddie & JBR give us good physicality in the 10/12 channel which Munster favour & Steff can cover 15 if needed. Hopefully we come through unscathed & that Samson will be pushing hard for the bench at least for the Sharks game.
