Volunteer at an animal sanctuary; it will fill you with joy , despair, but most of all love, unconditional love of the animals.

Re: Pre season fixtures
A quick look at the Scarlet Fever Website will reveal that the Scarlets have not fared any better than Ulster and are equally in disarray. The main difference is that Pivac had said that the team going out was a dress rehearsal for next week. Let's hope so as they were soundly beaten by Bath.

That said we have basically a trash front five and no three-quarter line to speak of. I'll be lookng for small incremental signs of hope this season.
Stage 1: Marcell plays and apparently may even be fit to play again.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

Backrow could be decent but the front five leaves us with a poor scrum/lineout. Could be a bleak year.BaggyTrousers wrote:Was about to post that, they have been very much weakened up front.Dave wrote:The loss of Barclay and Beirne will be huge for them.Aird wrote:A quick look at the Scarlet Fever Website will reveal that the Scarlets have not fared any better than Ulster and are equally in disarray.
