You mean 6 2 split. Scrum half and an outside back and Carberry covering everything?
So Leavy, SOB AND Molony

Full set of English officials for the Munster v Ospreys game apparently. Luke Pearce to ref. Haven't seen the officials for our game anywhere yet, but I'd now be betting on it being Mitrea.
Look out Itchy, he's Irish

The best in the Pro12 in my (pretty worthless) opinion.

Molony with outside shot at place on tour to Japan - if he starts.

Ken Owens and Jake Ball not fit for the #Scarlets, but James Davies returns to their back row against Leinster.

Love it !! Gonna be some serious impact off the bench with Healy, Leavy and O'Brien all bursting to get on.
Huge confidence boost for Molony.
Kirchner v ROL on the bench the only thing I'd have a substantial 'meh' about but perhaps experience here is key and Kirchner has been solid.
BRING IT ON, can't wait now.
No Jake Ball is a big hit for the Scarlets, he's been class.

Given the split on the bench I'm surprised ROL or Ferg aren't there instead of Kirchener.
I know we have great strength in depth up front and we're well covered in the backs but I'm not a fan of that, it feels like we were too worried about leaving one of the back rowers out.
Surprised at Dev being dropped but don't think he can have any complaints. Fingers crossed he's fired up when he comes on and gets back to his best.

Going with 6-2 doesn't make a lot of sense given likely potential to lose a back or two in the course of a probable high tempo game against a quick backline. Not having cover for JS other than Joey (who didn't manage well at 10 in Belfast) slotting in from 15 is a risk especially if we need to control things at the death.

How is that? Hasn't the squad already been selected.
