I think so. A lot of tries scored against us this season have come directly from us missing one on one tackles. Our scramble defence has actually been quite solid. I don't know whether we're missing these one on one tackles because we are set up differently on the pitch to always be ready to counter attack etc or whether it's down to simple lapses in concentration. I think fixing out defence completely will stifle our attack, but tweaking it here and there is definitely an option we can look at. I just think for the Scarlets, if we focus too much on defence, we lose what we stand for on the rugby pitch and how we like to play the game. I'm not sure if that makes sense actually, I'm not feeling at my most articualte this morning, but tis just how I feel

Dreamer - I agree. I like the fact that we do look for the counter attack, and if we did tighten up our defence we would lose out on that aspect of our game.


P.S. With regards the Scarlets way, I assumed it was taken from the Millenium Stadium and the paving slabs with names on by the river there. Also there was a mess up when ordering the stone for my daughter (to commemerate her birth) and they placed two identical stones.
