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.

The fall out from the Black Lion game and some honest...

Sosbans and Sidesteps ·

2023/12/18

The Black Lion was a result of more than a couple of years of decline and mis-management at the Scarlets - it was hard to take and hard to watch. We discuss the things we would like to see change and the letter from Crys 16 which matches a lot of the things that we have been discussing over the last couple of seasons - and we discuss how we are not the only people that feel this way. Our message to the club is clear - we hope that they are listening. Our Scarlets Fever Christmas Quiz can be found

The boys try to find different subjects to distract themselves from the rugby - Big M plays hide and seek with an internet signal while Huw starts a game of 'Name a red animal' and Lee G has one of his rants about something but they keep coming back to the Scarlets and the way forward.

Beating Cardiff is becoming a regular habit but apparently we are not allowed to play them 16 times a season so the boys discuss what we take from that game and how we move forward. Martyn gives a very rapid rundown of the community game while Lee and Huw go off on all sorts of tangents. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

A loss against the Ospreys is never easy but this one feels like a turning point - things have got to change. The boys are very open and honest about their feelings after last weekends game and their opinions on what needs to happen going forward. The mood is lightened slightly with a round of 'Who played for us and then them' before we look at the prospects for the Cardiff game. Feel free to join in with us on social media with this one.

Leinster or Ospreys - Which game is more important?

Sosbans and Sidesteps ·

2023/11/20

The Leinster game can be viewed one of two ways, we try to cover both. The Community game should be covered in more detail - we are getting there. The Ospreys game can only be covered one way - and we go hard on that one! Plus we ask the question, How many players can you name who have played for the Scarlets before they played for Ospreys?

Martyn delivers his ever popular community run down and the boys chat through listeners questions and then it is onward into the Lions game. There were plenty of positives to discuss which makes the loss even more confusing. If you were the person with the drum at the game - you will want to listen to this one as well.

Big M was busy doing important things with important people so Lee G and Huw Flatcap struggled on without him. Hu's first visit to the Parc kicked off proceedings followed by the run down of the community game fixtures, listeners questions, a discussion about the Cardiff game and a look ahead to the Lions game. The plans for drums and trumpets in the stadium are still in development - don't be surprised if they turn up soon. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Sosbans and Sidesteps ·

2023/10/31

You can feel the anger and frustration through the earphones on this one - it is never easy being a fan of a team that turns in a performance like that last weekend but things will improve and we, as fans, have a part to play in that. Honest conversations are hard to have but if you care about your club then you know they need to be had. If you know someone involved in the club, please ask them to listen so they can understand what fans are going through. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit

Big (E)m dons his pretty pink hair band to try and compete with Huw's headwear as they both try to distract themselves from the Scarlets performance last weekend. Unfortunately, the game needed to be spoken about and while they try to find a few positives - it was not an easy task. There is other stuff going on but that game will haunt the boys thoughts for a while. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

2023/10/20

Lee G spends a bit of time chatting with our round 2 opponents forwards coach Rito Hlungwani. Rito is one of the nicest guys in the game and the chat ranges from the weather (obviously), to recruitment through off season, expectations for this season, the SA team and the World Cup and what the Scarlets can expect when we meet next week. It is well worth listening to the bit about schoolboy rugby and why it is so important for building the game in South Africa - and Rito's advice for the

This weeks pod has an in depth study into the Scarlets senior squad (Huw would like to stress - very strongly - that this does not include the academy, or players that we would like to see in the senior squad) and rating them from having something to prove to a definite starter! Surprisingly - hairstyle is not a criteria on which to base a players rating - yet! The boys also work their way through the WRU statement regarding the Cardiff game, still not talking about the pre-season games, overly

Lee G talks to Pembroke RFC backs coach and school friend, Darren Gilbert about the last couple of seasons and where the club is now. It has been a crazy few years for Pembroke, with rapid promotions to Division 1, a Cup final at the Principality stadium and then Covid, player retirements and relegation but the club is in a good position to go forward. Darren talks us through the preparations for this season, the young players coming through, the big local derby from last weekend, the growth of the

2023/10/05

A frustrating start to pre-season - but it is only pre-season! The Dragons game now takes on a little bit of importance with the key question being - will the Dragons take their kicks at goal? Martyn seems to think that the 'edge' between the Scarlets and Dragons has softened since the New Years game but Lee isn't convinced! The boys also discuss hats, the World Cup, Wales v Georgia and the East/West of West Wales - again! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Nobody really knows what pre-season games are like so Lee G and Huw the Hat try to work out how the game against Cardiff will go, who we would like to see and what kind of game we can expect. They then move on to discuss the Australia game - how good Wales were, how poor Australia were, the level of sympathy for Australia and who to support when Portugal play Australia - it really isn't difficult.

The boys vent their anger at the lack of marketing and promotion of games such as the Barbarians game and issue a call out to the Scarlets! We then discuss the below par performance against Portugal that still managed to bag a bonus point win plus we discuss how good Portugal actually are. We look ahead to the Australia game and how their defeat to Fiji changes things and what we can expect in that game. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

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
