None last year. 2 out of 4 this year. Both losses to unbeaten Cardiff.

The age grade league isn't so much about results for me, 3 or 4 guys that look like they can make it all the way is the success criteria for me.
The Wales U20 side that Scott played in only had 3 Scarlets, all 3 made it to full internationals, the only others that went on to win caps were Navidi, Beck and Faletau. |

I tend to look for a handful of individuals too more than the collective performance, although it would be nice to see similar patterns to the senior side purely to make the transition to senior rugby easier.
I would like to see the regional age grade competitions later in the season leaving the college/6th form and club games culminate towards regional selection, not a fan of the squad being picked so early in the season, I'd rather the regions view the players throughout the season as players can develop a lot within months at the age of 16 to 18. We do also seemingly sometimes pick players in certain positions to get a result or for the general make up of the team rather than go for their long term potential position, for example we might have some players who will never have the height for second row playing there when they're realistically better off getting used to playing front row or 6.

It's usually because they are bigger. France, England and Ireland have much bigger pools of players to select from than we have and i would suspect are better developed and monitored from an earlier age.

Most Italians in Llanelli are from Sicily I believe.

Think the bench made improvements in the second half which helped,
the centre who came on was very effective and broke the gain line very well whereas the previous partnership were well beaten on the night The replacement 10 controlled the game much better putting us on a more forward footing Front row replacements seemed much bigger than starting front row and appeared to have more dominance which gave us better go forward ball. They have the Ospreys on Sunday 5th as a re-arranged fixture I believe |

It finished 29 - 17 to the Dragons. This was our U18s second game in four days so was a decent effort. A late interception took the wind out of our sails as it looked like we were going to push on to win. Both teams played some nice stuff.
