I would fancy Connacht as Scarlets are without the Welsh international players + few injuries

I think Cardiff could be stronger than assumed – Anscombe starts at 10, Tuculet from Argentina starts and we’re less hit but AI call ups than others. Cardiff seem to be putting some effort into being less reliant on domestic talent than previous years – a legacy of last years fractious WRU relationship no doubt. The Welsh players we do have are primarily young lads with the exception of our handful of stars (Cuthbert/Jenkins/Warburton – none of whom shine that often for Cardiff I am sorry to say. So I reckon we’re almost full strength tonight. If we don’t win by 10+ it’ll be ominous.

I reckon Zebre will beat Edinburgh at home.

All Welsh sides are hamstrung by the 4th AI which the Irish and Scots Unions have the sense not to play by keeping to the IRB window.

The Wales national side and the Welsh Regions themselves are poorly served by the suits at the WRU who force Wales and the regions to field weakened teams for this weekend.

Last year we had Wales playing a 4th game on the Saturday whilst the Cardiff Loos and the Ospreys had a Euro game the following Friday. Utterly stupid.
