Now that we've beaten Leinster and Ulster, could Scarlets correctly be described as Glasgow's bogey team?
 
I think that the only other side which beat us home and away last season was Leinster.

To be perfectly honest Jordan Williams, Nic Reynolds and Kris Phillips are nowhere near as good as North and Fenby (as wingers anyway), however with our style of play being how it is they are good enough as replacement IMO.
