Ohhhh that is some bull****. Scarlets player rolled right into the Connacht support to stop the clear out

Two Welsh commentators on premier....

That try is directly from a really poor call from Berry... Scarlets tackler literally rolled and stood up offside to block, Bealham smashed into him instead of the poacher trying to clear out. Should have been a penalty the other way.

Never even mentioned on premier

Why on earth has that been brought back for a knock on?? He juggled and gathered the interception??

Stef Evans pretended he had the ball in the corner ran off the ruck and into blade. Right in front of the ref. Surely obstruction?

I very very rarely whinge about reffing but Berry is absolutely ****ing clueless

BakeMeACake

Roll on second half. First half unremarkable but conditions are awful. Game very much in the balance

Berry just called advantage over for a penalty advantage to Scarlets after a nothing chip through...

Thought that looked like a bit of a harsh yellow

No idea how we’re only 5 behind.

Well worked to get a try during the yellow.

Unfortunate circumstances but we'll get a look at Dillane at 6. Hope Fainga'a and McKeon are ok, McKeon looked quite bad coming off but the injury seemed to come from a fairly innocuous knock.

I hate Berry's logic so much; "try was scored otherwise it would have been a yellow." It's not just him though so it's obviously what they're told to do.

Surely a yellow for Scarlets exact same situation for connachts yellow

I see we haven't sorted out restart issues after we score since last season.

I hate that. It was an offence and if the team warrants a yellow they should be given it.

Utopia Parkway

Extremely harsh pen on Dillane there for a high tackle. Very little in it. Even the Scarlets weren't expecting a penalty there.

Blatant knock-on from Scarlett’s before we knocked-on resulting in the scrum which they were awarded the penalty from. No idea how the referee missed that.

What’s Fitzgerald meant to do there?

realhorrorshow

Awful decision. For all his flaws Nigel would have admitted he got it wrong and given a scrum.
