The Scarlets pack is currently:

Sam O’Connor
Kirby Myhill
Archer Holtz
Steve Cummings
Jarod Taylor
Ben Williams
Dan Davis
Taine Plumtree

Still, at least we have plenty of depth at wing and fullback. And 3 test inside centres.

Now SFM gets himself yellow carded.

Strange performance from him today. Some flashes of brilliance. Doesn’t feel as connected with his backline, passes and attacking kicks not connecting and got sucked into the niggles

One comment about Scarlets v Stormers:

Can we talk about Blair Murray’s hair?

..Leinster, Glasgow and Bulls likely to be top four. Then you have the Sharks, Stormers and Munster who all have a lot going for them but don't look as ironclad. The only properly crap sides have been Dragons and Zebre - but even they look a lot better than a year or two ago. URC is exciting!

It’s a strong Ulster team on paper as well! If the Ulster front row can hold on we can have a game

If she wants to say she feels safer as a woman, I mean whatever that’s very subjective (maybe she should ask herself WHY that’s the case but we digress), but yes the “project” talk is so patronizing.

To be fair, he was part of the Wallabies squad that made the QFs in 2019, if I'm not mistaken. But that doesn't really lend his opinion much more legitimacy 😂

Sorry is there a Benghazi I wasn’t aware of in Spain?

Dermot Corrigan @dermotmcorrigan.bsky.social · 1d

Atletico Madrid play Inter Milan in Benghazi this afternoon for the Reconstruction Cup-FDRL.

Barca say they were going to play, but decided against it, and returned the €5m appearance fee.

Just another quiet international break...

Interesting point about the centres and Osborne picks. I’d certainly start Henshaw and Cooney together rather in the midfield and Jimmy O’Brien hasn’t done much wrong to move him from 15.

I’d also take his comment seriously when he plays for a team that can get out of its group in a World Cup (sorry Leslie)

I know Canan Moodie is the Springbok, but there’s no way you can convince me he’s a better centre than David Kriel. Moodie would be playing 14 when everyone’s available.

Also is Grandpa Willie just a bench impact player again?

Also also - Handré Pollard’s first match for the Bulls in years 🥹

(And even then a 6N draw with 3 home games against your toughest opponents and trips to Rome and Cardiff mean not all 6Ns are created equal like not all RWC knockout routes are created equal)

Mayyyyyybe if he said it’s harder to win a Grand Slam than a RWC, there’s maybe an argument (5 in a row, home and away), but even then you get rest weeks and the familiarity of the opposition makes it arguably easier
