The Scarlets made a confidence-boosting start to the European Challenge Cup as they powered to a 39-7 victory over Bayonne in Llanelli.

Dwayne Peel’s United Rugby Championship strugglers had won only one of their nine previous matches this season but made light work of their Top 14 visitors thanks to tries from Ryan Conbeer, Dane Blacker, Sam Lousi, Blade Thomson and Steff Evans.

Sam Costelow contributed 14 points from the tee, while Bayonne’s only response came in the form of a first-half try from Thomas Acquier that was converted by Thomas Dolhagaray.

This Springboks team still relies largely on vibes

Yeah, they’re not firing on all cylinders. But they’re going in to each game for the win and pulling it off 11/13 times for this past year. After an 85% season last year.

Based on my calculations - No other team has had two seasons in a row of 85% or better in the last 6 years. Not even Ireland.

Absolutely love the way the Aussies play.

I knew they get good quick. But not that quick. Schmidt’s doing a great job. Onwards and upwards.

You used the goto Kiwi reaction to always blame losses on the referee/TMO. "Two ludicrous decisions changed the game". That's not showing respect for France's win. You are stating that France's win was due to ref/TMO errors.

All Blacks winger chimes in on GOAT debate after France defeat

It might be times for non-french people to understand Dupond (or any international player from Toulouse or La Rochelle) can NOT play in southern hemisphere. Impossible. There are only three southern games in june while Toulouse or La Rochelle are in semi-finals and finale of Top14. The debate is closed before it even began. All Blacks coaches can decide who play or not in local championships, not the case in France, it isn't even an option

If Dingwall plays for England shouldn't he be given his preferred 13 slot?

I would love for Borthwick to select a specialist 12 one day! Will Butt, Max Ojomoh, and Dan Kelly (if he doesn't go to Ireland) could all be worth a look.

Israel exists whether you or I choose to support it or not. I bought some grapes grown in Israel the other day in no way means I support the oppression of Palestinians or the current Israeli war in their territories.

Is it possible for NZ to lose without blaming the referee or TMO? Do they have any self awareness? You are by a long way the most unsportsmanlike whingers in world rugby.

Shame about the present though.

Borthwick needs to give at least 3 or 4 of England A a start against Japan next week. I’d like to see Dingwall at 12 with Lawrence in his preferred 13 slot.

I've not once felt satisfied with the output vs potential of the boks, or, if you're going to cite inferior opposition, the consistency of good performances. But I know why they are not playing to potential yet. It's all good.
