Scarlets and Edinburgh claim crushing wins

Pro14 Group B leaders the Scarlets ran in seven tries as they crushed the Dragons 47-13 on Friday.

The defending champions, who won the competition in its last season as the Pro12, completed a clean sweep of their fellow Welsh provinces in emphatic fashion, having already beaten Cardiff Blues and the Ospreys twice.

James Davies, Tom Prydie, Dan Jones, Aled Davies, Aaron Shingler, Will Boyde and Rhys Jones all crossed for scores, heaping misery on a Dragons side that has won just two of their 13 games this season.

Meanwhile, South African side Southern Kings remain winless, Edinburgh making it three wins in four with a 37-7 victory.

Edinburgh were nilled by Glasgow Warriors last weekend and came close to serving up a shutout of their own against the former Super Rugby team.

Jaco van der Walt kicked 12 of Edinburgh’s points while Grant Gilchrist, Blair Kinghorn, Duhan van der Merwe and Cameron Fenton went over to make it 32-0.

Six minutes from time Ntabeni Dukisa got the Kings on the board but Dougie Fife ensured Edinburgh had the final say to round off a dominant performance.

Brendan Fanning: 'Leinster have the best-resourced squad in these islands but can’t make it pay.'

What is clear is that the Irish style has now been found out. France did so in the Six Nations and so should have England while Wales gave them an almighty fright. Irish teams bar Leinster are struggling in the URC. Irish rugby has been found out. If you can match them physically, deny them the ball, then 9 times out of ten, you will beat them. The decline has started and unless they have a reset, they will end up with what we have in Wales.

Brendan Fanning: 'Leinster have the best-resourced squad in these islands but can’t make it pay.'

The second Freeman try was startling. Not just through its execution, but the alarming ease at which Saints easily shifted play and created what looked like a 5-3 overlap. Leinster had about 9 players loaded and lined up on the open side. Saints simply switched and broke.


During England’s recent run of close losses - which also employed a disfunctioning blitz D, one of the criticisms leveled at Borthwick was England were over trained and too reliant on playing within prescribed ‘systems’. Leinster may also be slipping into that trap.

Why former All Black believes the Wallabies will beat the B&I Lions

Just say you haven’t watched Suaalii, Ikitau, or that new Reds centre Pakeho play. Or Tate, or Potter. Get a grip. I hope you are pleasantly surprised. From my eyes, that’s how I see the teams and their players. If you could back up your claims that somehow the English centres are any better than the Australian ones, or any of your other 'claims’, I’ll be happy to prove you wrong, or at least attempt to.😁

Why former All Black believes the Wallabies will beat the B&I Lions

Seems a bit unfair to comment on a players fitness while you sit on rugby forums and write rude messages about them from the safet of your keyboard.


Bell absolutely demolished England last year, so yes, he is good at international level.


As for your last comment, just say you don’t know ball. Alaalatoa has been playing for YEARS for the Wallabies, and he just slipp(er)ed your mind?

With my eyes, obviously. I’ve watched a lot of each of them this year and last, and you would lucky to have any of them, let alone all four, on the same team.

Why former All Black believes the Wallabies will beat the B&I Lions

They did, they implemented it very well against England last year if I recall. It’s hard to play at a fast tempo, that’s why less skilled teams (like England) choose to slow down the game to let their slow brains process the situation. Australia play heads-up rugby, and to do that effectively, they play fast so they can outwit the opposition. Against England, this worked very well, with quick distribution and identification of weaknesses.

Maybe go watch some rugby before you talk about these things.


Australia have shown some real class in SRP, and some really good players are coming to light. I think it’ll be a lot closer than most people think, but that’s just my opinion.

Why former All Black believes the Wallabies will beat the B&I Lions

For the last couple of years the biggest challenge Tupou seems to have had is walking past a Kebab shop without going in, and Bell has done nothing at international level to justify his reputation gained at SRP level.

Who replaces him when he goes off, by the way? Slipper?

Rugby is not won on paper, hence of course the WBs have a chance. But, anyone who believes the 8th ranked WBs have a better 30 man squad than the combination of the best of 3rd, 6th and 7th ranked teams needs to have their gas boiler checked to ensure there isn’t a leak.

But, Ninjin, you haven’t seen JWH’s ‘real’ rankings. Apparently, Oz have the best backrow in the world, bar none; better outside backs than everyone except France and NZ; better locks than England; better scrum halves than Argentina, England, Scotland and Fiji; and better centres than France, England, Scotland, NZ, Fiji and Italy.


I may, finally, have read it all now.😂🤣😂🤣😂

Elegant or turbulent? Can Les give the Wallabies the Kiss of Life?

Ryan was a man on fire last year, TL. Had that “Junkyard Dog “ following. I thought he should have gone on the EOYT tour for the experience. He is not the same player as last year on attack. Don’t recall the defence issues last year.

I’ve seen some delusional posts in my time, but that one must take the biscuit. England have beaten the WBs 10 out of the last 12 they played. Oz scraped a win at Twickenham last time out because the England defence was all over the place given that their defence coach had abruptly walked out halfway through implementing a complex blitz system, and England should still have won that match comfortably, even though half the team were blitzing and half drifting.

England are a significantly better team than Australia, as will be shown, yet again, over the next few years, and Scotland beat Oz last November barely breaking sweat.

I’ve, literally, never encountered an AUSSIE who would produce that list of functional rankings let alone a punter from any other country. It’s hilarious.

You seem to be basing your laughable ‘rankings’ on some starry eyed view of SRP you’re then extrapolating to international level.

Why ‘the curse of the Bambino’ is still stronger than ever at Leinster

Right. Three times in the last 5 minutes they lost the ball in contact, in the red zone. There were technical issues around how they went into contact and how the supporting players engaged, but the main thing was that this was the opposite of a marauding forward pack on the rampage. “Jittery” is an apt description.

Brisbane is generally mild in winter. Up here on the higher ground it can get cold in winter, esp. with the W. wind off the Darling Downs.

You’d think they’d have brought all this ‘experience at high pace’ to the international arena so that they wouldn’t be ranked 8th.
