🏉 Big news for the Scarlets ahead of their Champions Cup clash with Northampton Saints this weekend! Nigel Davies, now the interim director of rugby, has called the shots for the first time since his return, making three adjustments to the lineup.
Sam Costelow is back in action after recovering from an ankle injury, and fans are excited to see his magic on the field once again. Max Douglas also makes his return from suspension to fortify the second row with Jake Ball. We’re eager to watch Jac Davies at full-back, and see how Joe Hawkins handles the inside centre spot—Nigel thinks it’s his perfect fit!
However, it’s not all sunshine for Welsh rugby as wing Tom Rogers sits this match out due to a groin injury. Blair Murray and Ellis Mee fill the wings and are ready to bring their A-game.
The Scarlets are still aiming for a place in the knockout stage, hoping for some luck from the Pau vs Bulls match to keep their Champions Cup dreams alive. With Northampton being a tough contender, it’ll take top-tier effort and mindset to pull off a win on Sunday. But with strong spirits and skills, who says miracles can’t happen?
Here’s the starting team:
15. Jac Davies
14. Ellis Mee
13. Eddie James
12. Joe Hawkins
11. Blair Murray
10. Sam Costelow
9. Archie Hughes
1. Kemsley Mathias
2. Ryan Elias
3. Henry Thomas
4. Max Douglas
5. Jake Ball
6. Taine Plumtree

Let’s hope that under Nigel’s leadership, the Scarlets can defy the odds and prove they’re a force to be reckoned with! 🏆✨ #Scarlets #ChampionsCup #RugbyUnion #BelieveInScarlets
