Well Done Scarlets!

Post by G.K »

Great game by Scarlets tonight away at the RDS after yet another awful decision by the ref to red card a player just for a tackle. :smt023

Just hope that Tigers show the same commitment and effort tomorrow, but I'm not holding my breath on that. :smt047
Nowadays referees decide matches, players by how much.

yup. The Pro12 has simply been astounding all year and this semi-final didn't disappoint.

You will certainly be hard pushed to see a more thoroughly entertaining game than this.

If it is so entertaining then why does barely anyone watch it, if it wasn't for the Irish fans all the Pro 12 grounds would be empty.

Literally no one cares about any of the welsh regions, welsh fans only come out for the annual wooden spoon battle. :smt043

Don't know why you're laughing when you make such laughable, broad brush statements. Just one counter example, Llanelli, population of around 35,000 with average attendance of around 6,000. Leicester, population of around 330,000 with average attendance of around 22,000. Yes, I know that there are the surrounding rural areas, but not enough to explain the large difference in attendance relative to population.

Most of the Pro 12 attendances in Swansea are bolstered by dual tickets and giving shed loads away to local schools. Scarlets average is par for the course, except for Dragons slightly poorer average; Llanelli attendances have always been good, although not especially enjoyable for attitude, making Glaws look cuddly. The only time I have had a fan urinate on my car was at the old Sospan when supporting the Whites, as well as literal mudslinging.

Congratulations indeed to the Scarlets, I don;t think anyone outside of Dublin is sorry to see the Mexicans slaughtered. :smt003

As for crowds, I don't know how many fans Scaaaaaaaaaaalets took over, not many I'm sure given Parc-y-Empty's cavernous emptiness but still, not even selling out a home semi is pathetic, less than 16000. The cocky Mexicans were probably saving their euros for the final. :smt005 :smt005 :smt005

MOC said that Leinster that they had not won anything since he left and so it goes on?
