Play-offs

Fantastic performance from the one-eyed. Awesome second half resilience.

Satisfying to see all the petulant, holier than thou Dubliners effing off early.

Marius is quality. Whatever else,...they will play rugby.

I think rugby's the real winner

Yup. I played for a team that won a game with 13, in filthy conditions, on a quagmire. Nugget is right, you really remember those games.

Scarlets were mightily impressive, huge defensive shift in that 2nd half. And that after scoring 3 stunning tries in the first.
I must admit I thought the coaches had dropped a bollock when they took Patchell off for Parked but it worked. Huge risk though.
That performance will give the Osprey's a huge boost too going into the Munster game.

You weren't the only one. I assumed they wanted fresh legs and perhaps better defence, but thankfully Liam Williams managed some decent kicks at goal.

Fantastic effort from the Scarlets. The tries were amazing but the second half defence even more so. I was totally convinced Leinster would pull themselves together and crush the 14-man Scarlets in the second 40 minutes.

Has Parkes ever played fly half before? Seemed like a crazy idea taking Patchell off, but no harm was done I guess...

C'mon Ospreys. Take some inspiration from that!

[MrK]

The difference between these two sides is Leonard.

[Lord Llandaff]

Do Irish fans do anything but boo?

[bruce]

That seemed a bit of a bullshit decision to disallow the try.

[Sandydragon]

I was under the impression that the ball had to touch the ground to be a knock on, or does a player on the ground count?

Ospreys continue their woeful form. Well done Munster, better team won that one.

[Son of Mathonwy]

That seemed a bit of a bullshit decision to disallow the try.

Yep, especially as the ref had already indicated that the ball didn't go forwards. Bullshit indeed.

[Son of Mathonwy]

Could have done with Habberfield and Sam Davies taking over earlier, like half time. Not saying we would have won, but we certainly we getting nowhere as we were, despite loads of ball in the first half.

Still, the better team won. Hope the Scarlets kick their asses. And for once, that seems like a possibility

[SerjeantWildgoose]

Seriously, LL? All fans do it and While I'm obviously biased I'd say we do it less than others. Perhaps there tends to be so many of us you can actually hear us on the telly?

I'd like to think that this is more indicative.

The right decision, I'd say as the SH lost control of the ball and it touched his own player lying in front of him - it was a clear knock on and the TMO was right to correct the ref.

It was a massive shame mind as that bit of skill from a hooker deserved to have a try on the end of it. Might not have thought so if we hadn't been 15 points ahead at that stage.

Quite right, if the players leg hadn't of been there he would have knocked it on, what galled me tho was at the time the ref waved it on and said it went backwards, he was 3 metres away so I'm not sure how he managed to miss it.

[SerjeantWildgoose]

I was about 40m away and it was as clear as day to me. It was also clear as day that Biggar should have been binned for that outrageous crossing incident that resulted in Saili being penalised for tackling the player without the ball.

Also, it's all done and dusted and what on earth is the point arguing about it now?

What I would say is that the few Ospreys fans in town before the game seem to have put in a mighty performance. I tried to buy a ham toastie in Flannery's at about 1/2 past 2 only to be told that the Welsh lads had scoffed everything.

Pah, a one-eyed view if I ever heard it. I'd like to see the replay.

Who's arguing? It was obvious as you say.

[Ross. S]

Scarletts looking good ATM. If they can keep this up for the remaining 60 mins it could get ugly/glorious depending on you pov

[SerjeantWildgoose]

Superb stuff Scarlets. Blew us out of the water and ignore the bollocks that will be spouted about us not turning up. You would have beaten any club side in Europe today. No complaints from this Munsterman who can appreciate when his team is thrashed by a much, much better side. Hope the Jackeens give you a cracking night and sorry for the 2 late tries to make it look a little less impressive than it actually was.

[Lord Llandaff]

Just wish we could see Wales play vaguely like that...

[Sandydragon]

Absolutely fricking brilliant! It's been a shyte few seasons to be a Welsh rugby supporter, but the last two Scarlets games have put a huge smile on my face. Great to see a team playing heads up rugby and be willing to have a go.

Note to the WRU, this is how Wales can play if the shackles are taken off.

[bruce]

Get in, great stuff. Nice send off for Liam. How the hell some of those boys aren't on the summer tour is a mystery.
