The lack of composure in the few phases leading the the Scarlets try was horrendous.

To be fair Scarlets are damaging themselves with poor tackle technique, twice now.

How does the second row going a mile offside and grabbing Horne, only result in a shrug of the shoulders from the ref

Er, if the 9 has his hands on the ball and can make a pass, then the ball's out and the ruck is over. So why is Fagerson penalised there?

Anyone's game tbh unlike the earlier matc the ref is not favouring the home team.
He is just useles and inconsistent and French.

Macleod has his head on the ground when he goes for a turnover, one, that is head below hips and two, it's not supporting his own weight.

It's easy to say when you support the winning side, but that was a good match for 75 minutes.

The ref was wild, he was all over the shop, but didn't quite spoil it.

I didn't watch the whole game, but the bits I saw showed enough mistakes, & poor play by Scarlets to say they could have won it if they'd just executed better.

I think the one that'd give me nightmares was the sequence right after the Knock-On decision that could have gone either way. Scarlets had the ball inside the red zone, & 15 mins to go, & then someone threw an absolute shocker of a final pass out to the wing, who had to check, & jump to catch the ball, & as a result a certain try turned into him being driven into touch at the corner flag !

Scarlets deserved to lose.
The ref was appalling but that is no excuse
I bet neither Barnes nor Raynauld get sanctioned.
Both were sub standard and made game altering mistakes but not result changing.

It's the small things that really are the most humourous. Will never forget the reaction of a newbie when saying a player got pinged for a knock down, when he had tapped it over a metre up.

"Now you're making it up".

Sometimes you just need that third party/child like innocence to tell it straight.

Benetton are still in the Challenge Cup and Sharks could still win URC. So not guaranteed yet.

Weegies by far the better team and once they stopped pretending to be the Baa Baas and played sensible rugby in the second half they sealed the win. Crowd were awful with booing and chants of 'cheat', ref was inconsistent for both teams but in the end the better team won albeit playing well below their best. Weegies dominated scrum and the line out which meant all Scarlets could do was try and throw the ball about and avoid set piece for as long as possible. Scarlets tried hard but I was a bit disappointed with their lack of imagination in attack - very lateral and few set plays from the backs in evidence. They could have got more out of the game with some more dinks in behind the Weegies defence and were easy to defend against. They can only get better? Weegies will need to improve with Munster next up who will present a completely different challenge.
