[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 851252, member: 13739"] scarlets looked exceptional against the Ospreys. I know the O's have looked a bit out of sorts over the past month, but that was a demolition job by a Scarlets team who were superior in every facet of play. Leinster should be extremely weary, because on that sort of form Scarlets are fully capable of going to the rds and winning, even if it's against Pro12 SF history! They have a more than solid set-piece with a superb front row. Rob Evans is turning into something a little special, and Gats may be regretting not naming him in the Lions squad. His scrummaging is good, but his workrate and handling are just phenomenal atm! They have so many options in the back-row. James Davies will be back more than likely, Shingler is playing some of his best stuff, he's got serious pace for a backrower. They maybe lack a little on the carrying front at 8 but Barclay/Boyd are doing fine jobs for them there. Their backline is blockbuster and they're playing like it too. Steff Evans is doing the business game after game. Patchell is back fit and firing. McNickol is really starting to find his feet and Jon Davies is back playing well. They have some depth as well with any one of 3 scrum halves to pick from who all churn out impressive performances and a good balance in the center. DTH has to settle for a spot on the bench. Really looking forward to the game a week Friday, should be a humdinger. Leinster will go in as favourites, but I think it'll be close. Can only see one result in the other semi, and that's a home win. Ospreys have disintegrated it seems. AWJ will be a big boost, but he won't be enough to rejuvenate a pack which is really struggling physically. Another worrying thing is their defense, usually so aggressive and solid, has been passive of late. Muster too strong, and it could be a hammering! [/QUOTE]
