Scarlets need to lower the risk - can't keep throwing 50/50 passes when you have 14 men

Afternoon fellow rugby fans (and the troll currently known as Trevor40)

Just got back from our fabulous win against Munster Yahoo

Out of interest have you ever been to a rugby match in your life and who do you actually support

Heard Scott Williams scored a superb try just before the halftime....... how good was it folks?

That was more like it!

by wales606 Sat 12 Oct 2013, 4:54 pm

Liam Williams needs to go off, he is not fit

by Knowsit17 Sat 12 Oct 2013, 4:56 pm

Scarlets' breakdown pressure has been superb this game.

by wales606 Sat 12 Oct 2013, 4:57 pm

Forgotten how much I love the HC,

can't believe it might not be here next season!

Really enjoying this game

by **Notch** Sat 12 Oct 2013, 4:57 pm

Quins massive error count.

I loved how at HT Will Greenwood started a sentence by saying Quins don't mind a high error count if they can keep the tempo high, waffled for a bit and then concluded they are losing due to a lack of precision.

A high error count in other words? Headscratch

by wales606 Sat 12 Oct 2013, 4:58 pm

Danny Wilson take a bow

The Scarlets scrum this season has improved immeasurably.

by The Saint Sat 12 Oct 2013, 5:02 pm

Veterans like Phil John and Duncan Jones are playing well. Wonder if the almighty Bevington gets recognition from the Wales staff instead of these two...

by Knowsit17 Sat 12 Oct 2013, 5:10 pm

Third Williams to score.

by welshy824 (new) Sat 12 Oct 2013, 5:10 pm

shane who?

by wales606 Sat 12 Oct 2013, 5:10 pm

How on earth did Jordan Williams do that!!!

I'm confused, what on earth just happened.

A TBP would be nice Wink

Williams has a hat-trick! Very Happy

by flyhalffactory Sat 12 Oct 2013, 5:10 pm

OMG............... wonderful.... a massive try......... try wizard!!

by The Saint Sat 12 Oct 2013, 5:13 pm

How did he score it though...

by The Saint Sat 12 Oct 2013, 5:14 pm

Quins 19 - 33 Williams'

by wales606 Sat 12 Oct 2013, 5:14 pm

Jonathan Davies is covering everything, he must be knackered

by wales606 Sat 12 Oct 2013, 5:16 pm

Weak defending on the wings from the Scarlets - they have avoided it well by the excellent midfield defence from Williams and Davies, but as soon as the Scarlets centres were drawn in you could see that try coming.

by The Saint Sat 12 Oct 2013, 5:17 pm

Davies is a great player, but the Scarlets attack would benefit more from having a ball-player at 12. They could try and nick Cory Allen...

by wales606 Sat 12 Oct 2013, 5:18 pm

Preistland off! Must be injured

Poor mistake from Turnball

Time to man up Scarlets

by Knowsit17 Sat 12 Oct 2013, 5:18 pm

Should have done better there. Two on one and Brown has a walk-in. For all their positives, the first-up tacklling has been pot.

You mean Williams I assume

by 21st Century Schizoid Man Sat 12 Oct 2013, 5:19 pm

Wtf are Scaaaahlets doing ? Are they trying to hand this game to the bloodcheats ?

by welshy824 (new) Sat 12 Oct 2013, 5:20 pm

why take off priestland??

by wales606 Sat 12 Oct 2013, 5:20 pm

Was that Phil John?

Wow

by VinceWLB Sat 12 Oct 2013, 5:21 pm

Adriaanse that was.

by wales606 Sat 12 Oct 2013, 5:21 pm

welshy824 (new) wrote:why take of priestland??

He must be injured, considering their back 3 injuries they wouldnt put Maule there unless they had too

by wales606 Sat 12 Oct 2013, 5:21 pm

Shingler's first miss of the season, and that was a bad one to miss

by VinceWLB Sat 12 Oct 2013, 5:23 pm

That's what happen when you don't have the confidence in him from the start.

by wales606 Sat 12 Oct 2013, 5:24 pm

Terrible, terrible control from Turnball

The Scarlets need a proper no8!

by VinceWLB Sat 12 Oct 2013, 5:24 pm

Turnbull badly exposed here.

???

He didn't start the game

by The Saint Sat 12 Oct 2013, 5:26 pm

Could be a draw on the cards.

by VinceWLB Sat 12 Oct 2013, 5:26 pm

Yeah but he came on very early and could have kicked instead of Priestland.

by wales606 Sat 12 Oct 2013, 5:26 pm

Oh sh*t

Real pressure on the Scarlets now

And all because they don't have a proper 8 - with one, it would have been a kickable penalty at the other end.

by wales606 Sat 12 Oct 2013, 5:26 pm

No try, clearly in touch

by welshy824 (new) Sat 12 Oct 2013, 5:27 pm

liam Williams try saving tackle!!!

by The Saint Sat 12 Oct 2013, 5:27 pm

Well done Williams. Having a good game. Which Williams though?

Why?

Preistland was nailing 100%, why ruin Preistlands confidence when he hasn't missed for a couple of games now

by VinceWLB Sat 12 Oct 2013, 5:27 pm

Scarlets needs composure here.

by Artful_Dodger Sat 12 Oct 2013, 5:27 pm

I think Sackey had a foot in touch before grouding.

by Artful_Dodger Sat 12 Oct 2013, 5:27 pm

Replay shows that he did.

Yeah i know but if i was Shingler i would asking myself why they don't give me the kicks at goal.

by VinceWLB Sat 12 Oct 2013, 5:31 pm

oof it's over great win for Scarlets!

by wales606 Sat 12 Oct 2013, 5:31 pm

Excellent match

Excellent win

by welshy824 (new) Sat 12 Oct 2013, 5:31 pm

what a match, well played scarlets, they almost threw that away though!

by Artful_Dodger Sat 12 Oct 2013, 5:33 pm

Fantastic performance and result for Scarlets, well played. Harlequins downward spiral continues.

He has 11/11 this season, but Preistland was 7/7 in that match! Absolutely no chance he would have been given the tee before Preistland went off.

by Knowsit17 Sat 12 Oct 2013, 5:34 pm

Well played Scarlets. Some areas in need of improvement but a very good result to kick off the campaign.
