Scarlets appear to have completely given up. Shipping 40+ points at home?

Re: The Official Welsh Rugby Thread

Just watched the final minutes of the u-18 game between Wales and England. Not only are our players not very good, they’re also annoying and gutless. Under the cosh in the final minutes and only 6 points up, they celebrated like it was 1999 with some head patting and the like when the English had a ...
