[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 935446, member: 13739"] Yeah, the Welsh regions' struggles this season have been a major worry. Scarlets - unprecedented injury problems are difficult to overcome when the squad isn't the biggest. There have still been games they've lost where they should have won though. Blues - at times they've looked like one of the best sides in the league with their backline ripping sides apart. But in the same game they often leak soft tries and have ended up of thr loosing side far too often. Hopefully this is teething issues with the new coaching set-up and they can now push for the playoffs and be better next season. Ospreys - over reliant on AWJ and Tipuric. Imo Clarke is a rubbish coach who by sending 3rd string sides to take a beating has really undermined their season. Recent rumours over their future can't help. Dragons - poor coaching appointments don't help, whilst they're still missing quality in key positions. Should still be doing better with the players they have. If Scarlets and/or Blues make the play offs they could be very dangerour though. Also not convinced that it's Gatland that's massively over acheiving with Wales, more that the regions are chronically underachieving. [/QUOTE]
