Scarlets vs Harlequins Empty Scarlets vs Harlequins

Post by The Saint Sun 19 Jan 2014, 1:23 pm

Didn't see a thread on his, which is surprising as it has the potential to be the game of the weekend. Both teams are chasing a place in Amlin Challenge Cup (better than a kick in the teeth).

Scarlets: Aled Thomas, Kristian Phillips, Gareth Maule, Scott Williams, Jordan Williams, Rhys Priestland, Gareth Davies, Phil John, Emyr Phillips, Samson Lee, George Earle, Jake Ball, Aaron Shingler, John Barclay, Rob McCusker (c)

Replacements: Ken Owens, Rob Evans, Jacobie Adriaanse, Johan Snyman, Josh Turnbull, Rhodri Williams, Adam Warren, Gareth Owen

Harlequins: Mike Brown, Ollie Lindsay-Hague, Matt Hopper, Tim Molenaar, Ugo Monye, Nick Evans, Karl Dickson; Joe Marler, Dave Ward, Will Collier, Nick Kennedy, George Robson, Luke Wallace, Chris Robshaw (C), Nick Easter

Replacements: Joe Gray, Mark Lambert, Paul Doran Jones, Charlie Matthews, Tom Guest, Sam Stuart, Ben Botica, Tom Williams

Referee: Jerome Garces (France)

For Quins to even come close to winning we need a big game from our forwards and for Dickson to find some form. Sadly I can only see one of those things happening, so we'll either win through the pack or lose.

Lee vs Marler will be an interesting battle. One is a graduate that's gone on to represent England, the other is a graduate looking to cement a place in the Wales team. Not so sure about McCusker at 8, after a promising career start he is now one of the worst players in Wales. It's gotten so bad that Turnbull looks much better at 8.

Our pack has been our heart beat this Heineken Cup

If we win this game it will be through our scrummaging and a solid defence

Ah, I've just noticed that is on via the red button. And I don't have red button access via sky player. Anyone want to help me out? I'm talking about giving the, exact direction to this game. Preferably one with no pop-ups.

Why via red button? Would have thought all French game would have been red button game. The French won't be watching sky will they?

Going in from the side I think - seemed harsh.

Quins just scored out wide. (*Brown)

Shingler hit a maul to hard according to the ref.

They don't penalise that in a Sharks-Stormers game.

Quins losing the breakdown again, like in round 1. If Quins lose by a large enough deficit do Blues also make it into the Amlin?

Are Scarlets really good at the breakdown?

It's just odd that we can be so dominant there against Clermont but get owned the next week against you guys.

Just to clarify - Shingler came in to a maul from the side at pace hitting a Quins man (Guest I think) in the ribs. Cheap shot & view from commentators was that he was lucky it wasn't red. Fortunately it would appear no lasting injury

Scarlets win with 3 tries they get Amlin

Quins win or draw, they get Amlin

Scarlets win without 3 tries, Blues get Amlin.

Quality try from Quins there - good handling in the wet.

Olly Lyndsey - Hague showing his pace & footwork.

7 - 14

cheeky try (though IMO Shingler is a bit lucky to still be on the pitch at all), and this game is superbly poised. Think Quins aren't committing enough to the breakdown at the moment, and while this is resulting in them creating gaps out wide it's also cost them a couple of penalties.
