MESSAGE FROM THE HEAD COACH
SCARLETS Vs MUNSTER
DWAYNE After the frustration of our opening defeat in Edinburgh, it was great to see us take a step forward against a physical Emirates Lions side. I was pleased with some of the touches and the tries we scored, but also with how we approached our defensive work. We were under a lot of pressure at times, they had some big runners who came at us, but there was a real hunger from the boys to get off our line and go through our sets. As coaches and speaking to the players after the game, we loved having the fans back in the stadium and hearing you all in such good voice. It was a night I will remember for some time, my first competitive match as head coach back in Llanelli and there is no doubt, having a crowd like that behind you makes a huge difference, especially here at Parc y Scarlets. The boys have trained well again this week, but we know this game is another step up for us.
It is great to welcome back our British & Irish Lions, Ken, Wyn and Gar to the match-day squad and hopefully it won’t be too long before you get to see Sanjay back in Scarlet following his appendix operation. I am sure all the fans wish him well in his recovery. The series result in South Africa wasn’t what they would have hoped for, but the boys represented the Scarlets superbly this summer and we can all be proud of their efforts. I hope you all enjoy this afternoon’s game, it promises to be a cracker between two sides full of international talent and exciting young players. Mwynhewch y gêm prynhawn yma a diolch eto am eich cefnogaeth

From my experience of playing and coaching against Munster, they are a side that never goes away, they will play for the full 80 minutes and we have to match their intensity if we want to come out on top.
