anything over 10 is a good attendance for Scarlets.
Well when the buildup of smog from the coalface and that subterranean race of aliens living under Wales from Doctor Who kills off 20% of your population every week it’s inevitable your attendance dips.
 
Very happy with that return to form , thought we lacked a bit of accuracy against dragons last week. Cheetahs been a dangerous team all season and a credit to the saffas. Glasgow will be a tougher opposition but on that form I expect us to have enough to just over haul them . Solid send off for Beirne , Barclay and Williams stalwarts all 3 and gonna be sorely missed next season .
 
Buggrit. Munster were completely there for the taking - they had a bad day at the office. Edinburgh missed Jamie Ritchie in the loose forwards (late fall off) as he has been electric recently.

Still a remarkable achievement to get this far with a pretty makeshift set of backs. Relieved to see Fowles come on and have a good effort. A lot will rely on him next year if Cockerill can't prise away one of the top three Scottish scrum halfs currently at Glasgow.

The other match didn't surprise me as the Cheetahs have been running on fumes (I hope their internationals get to skip the June internationals). I'd also say I've not been impressed by Rory Duncan who appears to have coached them at the beginning and end of the season (I think with Franco Smith coaching them during their mid season surge?). If it wasn't for their altitude advantage I can imagine a world where the Kings are the better SA franchise next season and neither reach playoffs.

Scarlets showed enough to make them favourites against Glasgow I think. Good to see Steff Evans back on form with a bit of a wonder try.

Fully agreed with assessment Bruce but Edinburgh shouldn't fear coming to us or any big team. Cockers has improved them massively and he never feared here as a coach and that mentality will transfer to players. They have made massive strides in a short time and will continue that graph no doubt
