Scarlets U18 v Cardiff U18, tonight 7pm

Unless our recent improvement in form is making me hallucinate I'm pretty sure I heard that S4C is covering the above match online tonight but have yet to find a link.

Anyone know his dad's name? Someone answered this a few months ago, iirc. Again, iirc, he is local and it’s either quite a good story or he’s a vg prospect (or both). Hopefully, the person in the know will confirm the exact position. he’s never going to be big enough unfortunately

Yes, we did improve in the second half but Cardiff were still by far the better team. They seemed better prepared physically and tactically. We had a few big players, but they were nowhere near as athletic as their opposite numbers.This is not surprising when you compare the population and catchment areas of the two regions. They have so many big players that a number will also be skilled and athletic, whereas in some positions we are even struggling for size, to say nothing of the great distances along country roads some would have to travel to train let alone play. m
