That was a bit poor really...

What a disappointing match, not only because we lost, but the manner of our defeat. One minute you think we're on top of the world after beating the Ospreys, the next, not only are we part of the poorest game of the season, but we manage to lose!

The start was quite encouraging, some solid scrums, a few line breaks and a 10-3 lead at half time, things looked pretty good. Unfortunately, the same old problems came back to haunt us, the lineout wouldn't work, defence became non-existent, nobody seemed to remember where touch was and we just couldn't cross the try line. Just as it looked like we may hang on, we lose our defensive pattern and fairplay to a doggy Dragons team, they pounced on the opportunity.

If anything, the game underlined many problems with the Scarlets and the Magners League. It was slow and scrappy due to poor handling, skill levels and a lack of imagination, both teams were suffering from a lack in depth in terms of players - a few injuries and it seems the quality of games drops dramatically.
