When you see Scarlets lining up for any game you immediately think overs but there are too issues here:
1. Brive are boring grinders
2. Barnes can easily get into picky defensive penalty mode
So that's a swerve for me. Hopefully Scarlets can give us some fun regardless though.

Screams unders to me. Think it's time I left the TV though. Too much excitement so far this weekend......

Looking forward to this one. If Scarlets can get the ball I think the back line wil cut them to bits. It's quite a big If though
|

By:
Agree with above comments - although looking at brive in this competition though they have been scoring tries hinting at perhaps playing with a bit more freedom - throw in who starts at 10 for hosts and would imagine they will look to play a little
This comp quarters tend to also be higher scoring than Heineken cup quarters looking back so have dabbled on shirts on spreads at 36 as even in low scoring a chance of coming out unscathed Weather looks set so hoping for visitors to look to run the ball plenty |

By:
Probably going to regret this but have topped up realising brive playing weakened team plus scarlets will be playing with plenty of emotion out there - and two strong benches increases chance of a sub scoring
|

By:
Not sure Scarlets should be trusted at 1/2 for any away game in France so I am laying a bit of that for starters.

Market not giving Brive much credit for that show. Leaving all my green on them.
|
|
By:
hope I'll be green by the time my Indian arrives.
|
|
By:
Brive have more experienced players on the bench too 1.01
|
|
By:
Agreed - I'd go evens the pair 1.01 on that half - scarlets still on the bus but I'm giving them credit for potentially improving.
Couldn't have this much between the sides |

Nice to know I'm not alone in my thinking. Good luck gents.
Don't see lots of 2H points as out of the question, fwiw. Worth a long shot anyway. |
