Scarlets looked like one trick ponies against munster 2 weeks ago. The top teams will have worked them out. Leinster by 15.

They rested half the first team for that match.

Ooooft

When are times and dates of semi finals announced?

Munster too . What’s your point

There you go Geoff

Well you can’t really judge a team based on one match when half their team is missing.

Didn’t one of the Italian teams beat them a few weeks back. And Leinster also. Not a once off

Leinster will beat scarlets comfortably.
Saracens were actually considerably better than I’d suspected.
Nigel Owens should not be allowed to referee a game involving an Irish side as he earns so much cash from the irish rugby fraternity.

Owens cost Ireland at least a draw versus New Zealand down in Christchurch few years ago.

Youd swear Nigel does no corporate gigs in England :roll_eyes:

He had Christmas dinner with a family in Limerick a few months back, a family of Munster fans. It was plastered all over local media at the time with accompanying photos of a smiling “Nigel” as he’s known among the Irish rugby fraternity.

He then went out and reffed them v Leinster on St Stephens Day.

Should read Chipp referee John Lacey. We don’t want to be claiming him!

Terrific camaraderie amongst the rugby community.

Talk about fake news the man was stranded in bad weather and he was taken in for grub by a colleague. Serious bang of jealousy and some might say homophobia off that accusation
