Edinburgh v Scarlets - 8/1/2011

[tinchy17]

Any views on this game? Who is going to win? It would be interesting to see Edinburgh trash the babies who hail from Llanelli, especially as Stephen Jones is currently injured.

Steveo is due back this week, probably going to be on the bench.

 

[Feicarsinn]

You know Scarlets are second in the league right?

 

[TrueSlawter]

Scarlets to win this, likely will be close but even without Jones Priestland at #10 is good

No I dont

Yeah... babies from Llaelli eh? All I have to say is Jonathan Davies = Awesome superb performance in attack and defence! Nice to see him slotting back into the form he was showing before his injury.

Dissapointing stuff fae the 2 Scottish teams, especially Glasgow

For regular watchers, do you consider the Scottish teams dirty? They seem to be getting a hell of a lot of yellow cards lately

Aye, he certainly doesn't look like a guy just back from injury
I'm interested to see him play a game with Gareth Maule at 13

I don't think it's so much that they're dirty as regular infringements. And a bit of bad luck, the Stortoni last night for example was very harsh. He went for a tackle and knocked the ball on. The ref said he knocked it on on-purpose and gave a penalty and a sin bin when it was probably just a scrum.

I did feel that edinburgh could actually get away with more at the breakdown than the Scarlets yesterday, I wouldn't say that it's because their dirty, it was more because Peter Fitzgibbon is an idiot. A couple of times he pinged the Scarlets for something, then ignored it when Edinburgh did the same thing shortly afterwards.

Don't think the Scottish teams are dirty as others have said are unlucky ... as Doddy Weir said in the Lions 1997 Tour ... 'A case of mistaken identity'!
