Blues 35 - 26 Scarlets

MagnersLeague

comment on the article

UPDATE: A cracking game! Blues take the win, and climb to second in the Magners League. Very well played from both sides. Some of the young Welsh players played superbly, and in front of Gatland no less. Wales' future continues to look very bright.

A thread for those of us stuck at home to discuss the game as and when it happens...

Sean D - "So does the Magners League need play-offs after that?!"

Personally I'm not too hot on play-offs, but if they were implemented, I'd rather just the top two teams compete, rather than the top four.

Mark Jones doesn't do it for me. He's got great pace and is very good defensively but doesn't got involved enough I feel.

Great game to watch good for Welsh rugby, but fans pay to see their teams win and win silverware, under Phil Davies the Scarlets have no chance. If Phil Davies was any good he would have fought tooth and nail to keep Dwayne Peel.
Maybe Dwayne has seen the light and seen a sinking ship coming. Lets replace PD for next season.

i think the playoffs are needed. with teams losing so many players throughout the year the best team may not end up on top of the table.

playoffs help to solve this.

Well Reffed?
Ok well if you ignore all the offsides and the blatent foot in touch by Rees in the first half i suppose your right - but from my place on the terrace it was rubbish

The positive was that even though the Blues won -
Tom James looked great as did Nicky Robinson
Nuggett was superb too (as always)

dont know why Dwayne went off he was the Sgarlets best player by a mile.

Good win!

Surely foot in touch and to an extent offsides are down to the touch-judges?????????
