Scarlets visit - Thursday 09th September 2021
I'm hoping for a team close to our best side, whatever that might be, obviously ,missing our SH international players, but something close to the side that will start against Exeter.

Re: Scarlets visit
Not sure why JVP and Clare haven't made match day squad, injuries?

Re: Scarlets visit
Strong side.. missing the obvious absentees of Montoya, Van Staden, Wiese and Moroni which shows our great strength in depth this season.. Will be interesting to see how Steward gets on on the wing again.. 2 tall wingers with Nadolo and Steward. Guess that's what pre-season matches are for to try a few things out and with 3 wing options on the bench (Muri, Saumaki and Porter) it's perhaps something SB is looking at a bit more seriously this season.
Can't wait for this one.. should be a good test

Re: Scarlets visit
Can't argue with that too much. Nadolo might get a look in.. spoiled for choice on the wing now which is a nice problem to have!RagingBull wrote: ↑Wed Sep 08, 2021 12:59 pm for the Exeter game i'm hoping of a team

Good team!
Will be nice to see Kalamafoni and Costelow again, even if it is for the opposition.
