PODCAST

Sosbans and Sidesteps

The WRRAP network

The home of Scarlets supporters and community rugby in West Wales. We like to delve into the nitty gritty of Scarlets games, the community game and the pathway on a regular basis. We analyse games, talk to players, chat with coaches and get the fans point of view - we may also discuss other weird stuff as well.

2023/09/25

The Fiji game takes up a lot of our time this week and it is mainly the rugby we discuss rather than the off field stuff. There is a little bit about that and how much the english love to moan about stuff that has nothing to do with them! We also discuss the prospect of Mason Grady running at you full pelt and the survival techniques that may come in handy at that point. The prospects of a win over Portugal are assessed as well as how long we would like to see certain players on the pitch. Finally

Some Scarlets stuff and the Fiji preview

Sosbans and Sidesteps ·

2023/09/25

As the World Cup kicks off shortly, Wales prepare for a battle with Fiji. Huw, Martyn and Lee look at where Fiji are strong and where Wales can outsmart, outcompete and outscore them. This is a huge test for both sides and a massive test for supporters blood pressures.

Sosbans and Sidesteps ·

2023/09/25

The review of the South Africa game is a tough one but we try to find the positives in there - eventually! The squad selection raises some interesting questions, particularly around injuries, outside centre and scrum half. We also try to look at the friendlies in our region but it descends into a discussion about where the dividing line between East and West of the region actually is. More on that next week.
