Really impressive stuff from the Scarlets. To play like that even in the final shows how much faith they've got in the gameplan and in their skills.
They completely blew Munster away, almost able to rip them to shreds on every play, easily getting outside the narrow defense with a combination of quick hands, pace and depth. In comparison Munster only seemed to have their kicking game as their attacking weapon.
Did Munster play poorly, as Leinster had last week? They looked poor, but I'd argue that its Scarlets who's made both look poor. I refuse to accept that both Leinster and Munster would inexplicably play so poorly in the knockout stages of a tournament without any pressure put on them.
Hopefully this is just the beginning. They're good enough to challenge on two fronts next season imo. They're certainly building some depth in their squad, but they'd still struggle to contend with lots of injuries, so that could still prove crucial.
