The Munster Double Header...round 2

I'm just about dry after spending my Saturday evening in horrendous conditions watching another masterclass in wet weather rugby from Munster. The Scarlets were tought a lesson and the front five problems were, again, shown up with no mercy.

This weekend, the Scarlets will be hoping for a considerably dryer venue to play rugby at, but it still won't change the fact that unless the pack perform, the talented backs will be inaffective. Munster will, once again i'm sure, try to strangle the life out of the game, but it would be foolish to think that they will be looking to rumble the ball for another 80 minites. With a full house of singing munster fans behind them, the forwards will no doubt look to dominate a scarred Scarlets pack, but the secret weapons of Tipoki and Mafi will also be demanding the ball of O'Gara if the chance arises.

The Scarlets have decided to make a few changes. Big Vernon Cooper into the second row to add some much needed 'beef'! Ben Broster finally gets his chance with the problem No.3 jersey and Jon Davies gets the nod at inside centre after some impressive displays, but most importantly, Stephen Jones is back to add some direction and much needed grit to the Scarlets team.

We're now playing for pride and in Llanelli, rugby and pride go hand in hand, hopefully the players will be made aware of this if they're not already and Munster, now top of the group, will be looking for another clinical display to see off a hurting Scarlet army.
