Mon lads.

Good to see Johnstone in and some honest talking from Cockerill

I has the fear after the 2nd Scarlets try thought the complacency would last. Good effort to regain the momentum.

Aye, likewise. Even at 40-14 feels like we may fuck it somehow.

Kinghorn going off is a big loss at this point in the season, didn’t look great.

He walked though so that's a "bonus".

A really great performance so far. Bradbury has been immense, and where had this SHC been hiding for so long!?

The cynic would say he's playing for a contract.

67m- Duhan a bit thick? The Scarlets are rapid, you were never going to burn them on the outside. A kick would have been nice.

Looks even dumber on the replay, there's 3 Scarlets ready to shepherd him into touch.

Superb by Weir and Bennett against the run of play.

All a result of the insane pressure Edinburgh are putting on Scarlets when defending.

Bar a 10 minute period of complacency this has been a very good performance.

That leg brace on Blair doesn't look good. I missed it. What happened?

Looked to twist a knee as he got tackled. Walked off so hopefully just precautionary.

So a BP win v weeg and a non bp win for scarlets would be 2nd place.

Good win and a good performance. Bradbury has been very good lately.

That’s a fair call really. Although he has been stuck with some very forwards oriented coaches for years. Today’s game just suits his better.

Finally, I appreciate you can only play what’s in front of you, but that was a very weakened Scarlets team.

Aye but even in more broken games this season he's not shown that form. I'd have kept him for the record but perhaps a move is best for him.

Who do Scarlets play next?

I wonder if Cockerill went a bit easier on them in training. They looked sharper there were a couple of "fun" line out variations like lifting Dean and the try.

1st thing is for weeg to deny Ulster a BP to guarantee top 3.

The feeling I got was the opposite from the chaff from the pundits and Bradbury.
