So what do we think? Where's your money?

He didn't do it single handedly though!!!

It really winds me up when all the scrum credit goes to one prop or another, Rees is a great scrummager, Owens still a good one, and the boiler room of Timani and Snyman are so much stronger than Jones and Nimmo. Jones is no monster but is decent but Nimmo looks so powder puff!!!

Disgusted at them comentators. BBCW should be ashamed of themselves for letting these clowns in the commentary box. What kind of a commentator would say that about their own league!

I didn't hear them say anything?

leinster mate, noones biting so get off it...

More rubbish play by the Dragons, why go for a DG

desperation glam?!

Stop squabbling you lot. Sound like a blwdi troop of girl guides

Did you not hear what they said about the rabo just after half time no? Im not trying to get any bites im actually really peed off at them.

MM

What are you talking about?

Unlucky cudd. Foreheads a bleeder

Well it wasn't said, and if it was (I heard nothing) then they got one mixed up with the other, either way leave a decent thread alone mun

I would encourage you to rewind it. I couldnt believe what i was hearing.

Poor fare. Dragons very weak set piece & Scarlets unable to take advantage.

I can't beleive you won't just drop a non subject! I wish I could rewind this thread to where I engaged you.

Stoddart makes a break, takes a catch and flicks it back inside. Good to see him back and starting well.

He is talking about Rick O'Shea and Tom Shanklin on the red button, they said that the rabo is struggling and that the Italian sides should not be in it as the teams struggling to play their best players as it is even without the extra fixture the Italians bring to the league with their substandard teams.

Thats your own fault for listening to Rick O Shea!!!

What is your problem? Im trying to defend the rabo... You know the league that your team is in...

My problem?

I'm not the one harping on about what a numpty red button comentator is saying, and getting upset about a chris Moyles shock jockey type!!

If HERSH or Ghost were here now slating the league because of the contraversial decision you'd get upset by that too?

Prydie Gets three

To be fair, it was Tom Shanklin who said it, Rick o'Shea put him in his place a bit by saying that Leinster and Munster could win the league with their squads.

LeinsterFan, the commentators on the red button are as bad as the Setanta ones.

We get these commentators on S4C red button quite regulary so we know what to expect.

No because they arent getting paid to commentate on a game. What kind of image is that giving the rabo if our own commentators cant get behind the league.

Why doesn't Prydie have the kicking duty from the off, his tech is superb and success rate better!

It's just whine whine whine with you lot. Starting fights with each other and talking rubbish.

I've had enough..
We went to spoil. Didnt take points when on offer. Dodgy try against us. All in all a rubbish game.

Jonny Evans, Lewis Evans looked good.
Liam Williams looked good for the Scarlets.

Try hughes

Good move by the dragons, great try

Have you seen the weather...?

Leave it out MM, your like an old woman moaning about the noise!

Three points in it 16 mins to go

Drop kick specialist coming on and a decent scrum half

More accolades for lee. One that against the head..

Now that you can give to Lee, that was destructive smart scrummaging!!

Ooooooh

Almost a dream return for Stoddart

Looks fast considering he broke his leg so badly and was out so long.

Awww, I thought Stoddart was going to get that - good cover across from the Dragons though.

The ball wants stoddart tonight!!!

He gets it this time...

Stoddart in in the corner

24-13

Stoddart's got it that time though!

Fantastic return from injury, great to see.

24 - 13

MORGAN STODDART !!!

Big boost for the Scarlets with Stoddart looking very sharp.

Just like to point out as it will be over looked.

Toby faletau has been emence. Big yards, huge work rate, turnover tackling. Well played Toby. Il enjoy watching you in the Hcup for Toulouse

Liam Williams looks over weight since the last time I saw him play.

???

Young

I was about to say the same thing, he's looked good but strugg;ling in a sub par pack. It's only a matter of time before he and Lydiate take good contracts elsewhere... I did tell them the other day to call the pieman!!!

Sampson lee man of the match...

Deserves it too. Great game.

Dragons Liam Williams

Sorry Liam Davies (Welsh names)

Nige is definitely a turk.

He's class. A nice few bumps in the last 10 but hard yards all night.
He's a marked man for us as we don't have many other options. He often takes 2/3 down with him. I'd love to see him running off a dominant scrum.

To possible welsh 15s playing IMO.



Congrats to Stoddart.
