To be fair Ian Davies and Bundee have a lot of history which undoubtedly counted against Bundee. There was a lot of aggro visible between the pair when Davies blew a penalty late on in the game but its poor on our behalf that he was let near the ref after the game given where his head was at.

Three games is definitely to make a point. Two games would have had no impact.

Anyway so be it. At least we know and can plan for the play offs from here.

Scarlets have so much more to play for in this game than us and are having a great season. I wouldn't rule them out causing a surprise in the play-offs.

A result would be great but for me the most important thing is we try and mix up the game a bit and put in a strong performance to boost confidence before the play offs.

I hope I'm wrong but realistically I see it being the last home game of the season, let's hope the departing management and players get the send off they deserve.

I think we can all agree that he needs to learn to hold his tongue, but this is ridiculous. 3 games for an offence the ref didn't punish at the time and was fully aware of? Clearly scapegoating him

Looking forward to this one. Would like to get a chance to see Boshoff before the playoffs. We're fairly short on the wings, I'd rather see one of the academy lads given a chance on the wing over Poolman, although Rowland is in with a shout as well. Guess the centres will be Ronaldson and Farrell if Bundee gets a ban.

James Davies is out for the Scarlets, which is a big plus for us considering he has the most turnovers in the league and we have been turned over the most.
