I don't have a fixation with him ( honest ) , but Sau not mentioned at all and replaced by a centre playing wing ? Have I missed something ?

This is correct allowed weekend off for birth, think duhan could have played tonight given he only got 15-20 mins yesterday and they are in the same ground.

Thanks both - absolutely right and proper Sau gets time off.

DVDM won't have been part of the training / prep for this game so wouldn't have been considered. Although frankly training / prep consisting of "pass him the effing ball as often as possible" would probably have been sufficient :lol:

Given the injuries to Russell and Hastings, I think a bit of additional pressure on JVDW to perform tonight ?

Jeez tough half of rugby.

Conditions poor, early injuries but we look toothless in attack.

Agree joe had to go for scrum, Scarlets lucky not to have someone in bin already.

Gutting for McCallum, doesn't get many opportunities and it's cut short right away. Injuries are definitely a concern, running about in those conditions must be exhausting.

Only so much a team can do in conditions like that, but can't believe it took us so long to take the 3. And the Scarlets keeping all 15 on is getting a bit ridiculous if every scrum ends in a penalty against them.

should have been binned before they subbed the LH. I doubt Scarlets can believe their luck, avoided a man in the bin and a likely pushover or pen try by the stupidest decision.

No scrums for 5mins and ref re-sets his warnings

2 men up and we keep kicking possession away or even looking for the overlap
