That pass was never forward but ‘sprays deserve to lose for being gash.
Quality shade thrown by stadium DJ: “Rabble! Rabble!”
That was an absolute shocker it was backwatrds not even flat tbh
That said thay were gutless in the first haf and showed no balls at all so they got what they deserved
What the actual fuck was that decision? Terrible. Dragons got a similar one, admittedly not a nailed on try like that one, but still, these things are killers.
The consistent theme in most of the games (haven't watched the Ospreys) was the scrum being humped. Would Scarlets have lost if they could have held the scrum up? I don't think so. Dragons may not have lost on the scrum alone, but Brok Harris getting pinged repeatedly sure as hell didn't give us much of a foothold in the game. Blues brought on Scott Andrews and he was back to his usual tricks...and threw in a penalty for not rolling away for good measure. I understand covid makes it more difficult to release the internationals back but a few props here and there might have made all the difference on a weekend when the conditions were so wet.
I feared for the Ospreys when I saw Myler and Keiron Williams were out - they've been very good in their very different ways. Blues with a reshuffled midfield should still have been able to find a way to win, but they're a different proposition with Halaholo and Lee-lo in tandem, so I have some sympathy there. Scarlets are architects of their own failure. They had chances, but need to demand better because in games where you only get one or two big chances it's not good enough to choose the wrong option so often. Dragons, well, we just weren't good enough, but particularly in the front 5.
Just have to hope that every Welsh team can find another gear, because they are all in neutral right now.
