Just wait till Cyril get's here........
Despite thinking that Reed was a promising player for the Scarlets a few years ago, he really hasn't developed at all. I can't think of one thing he does well tbh. He's lethargic, not all that big and certainly not an enforcer type of lock, not great in the lineout, not hugely creative. He's just ended up as a bit of a meh player.
Not any many other real options though. If we had Adam Jones playing, we could have afforded to sacrifice some weight in the second-row and play Shingler there with Tipuric in the back-row. But with Andrews at 3 (he had a good game outside the scrums last week, very good in fact, but he's a rubbish scrummager), we cannot afford to do that, especially with Alexander back for Aus.
Why the f**k is Biggar not starting? Priestland may cost us the game the way he's playing. As j'nuh said, it's not fair on anybody. It is destroying Priestlands confidence, and I am starting to feel very sorry for the bloke.
