I have reservations about the team. Two centres who haven't played together yet, one coming off an injury, second choice halfbacks with third choice on the bench. Smith fresh off a bang too.

Bench should have some ballast with Barron, Edogbo, Gleeson and Kelly at least

Edinburgh side looks strong and coming off a week off where they've had to stew on losing to Zebre.

I'd take a win of any kind

Surely Farrell and SOB have played together before though? They were probably even at Connacht at the same time.

Good to see Edogbo back. Hard to believe he's still only 22.

I meant this season, and I’m fairly doubtful they’ve ran the combo much in training up til probably this week given Farrells injury.

SO’B has played relatively little centre for us too, probably has done 4/5 games there, albeit it’s his more natural position.

Very excited for Edogbos return. First game back after a lower body injury on a 4G surface has me nervous though.
 
Scarlets on the wrong side of the ref early on, too much break down pressure, they need to adjust their strategy or its going to be a long night
 
Scarlets dont have the basics to compete...

Even when they get a chance the lineout fails them, same as every Welsh region.
 
Scarlets deserve a thumping here, Stormers have offered nothing but being solid and physical, but the qelsh international backs have destroyed any scarlets challenge.
 
All 3 stormers tries have come from Scarlets attack, **** handling, and when the big boot comes the back 3 have been caught in possession giving away 60m territory.

Dwyane Peel is a bad coach! Bad breakdown strategy, no coherent attack, no heart in defence
 
That was a strange try. Maybe there should be a law that you can't kick the ball when you're on your backside.
 
I actually don't feel that the Scarlets have been that bad. The Stormers have had the run of the ball and the run of the referee.

Kicking the ball out play to end the game when you are on nil, at home, feels like a low point for Welsh Rugby

Absolutely!!!!!

No coaching strategy, no money, WRU have confirmed no future, and no guts or balls...

The sooner we go to 2 regions, in empty 10k stadiums in Cardiff and Swansea, and I can stop paying for a season ticket the better.

Welsh rugby is dead!
