As the final games of this years Heineken Cup group stages draw closer, the Scarlets' chances of making any sort of impact seem to be diminishing as the injury list keeps growing. Regan King looks set to join the likes of Dwayne Peel, Vernon Cooper, Alix Popham, Gavin Thomas, Stephen Jones, Gavin Evans and Nathan Brew on the sidelines.
So how will this affect this weeks clash at Wasps?
What it means is that the Scarlets face a struggle to even name a team of recognised first team players who are eligible for the Heineken Cup. It also means that the Scarlets are now forced to throw the youngsters in at the deep end. Will it result in humiliation or a dramatic uncovering of some future stars?
Wasps are never an easy team to play, home or away. Fortunately for the Scarlets, this game only involves pride so the pressure is off in terms of qualification. Wasps will be after a bonus point win, which could mean catching them 'red-hot' or catching them nervous. I know which is the more likely...
This is a chance for Scarlet youngsters such as Jon Davies, Daniel Evans and Darren Daniel to get a chance. What we must hope is that some of the Internationals manage to pass late-fitness tests to guide these future stars through as the experienced Wasps personnel will be waiting to teach them a tough lesson.
