Scrum of the Earth /

What is it with all these away wins?

Seems to be catching on doesn't it...

I checked teletext and it said Scarlets were 16 points up?

The Scarlets came out of the blocks quicker than George Michael reaches for the bottle with Morgan Stoddart scything through a sleeping line of defence before Mark Jones doubled the advantage.

So what happened?

It wasn't the fairy-tale ending at Stradey Park. Chris Malone's inch-perfect cross-field kick gave quicksilver wing, Ugo Monye a clean run in while Danny Care worked wonders behind a bullied Harlequins scrum.

Are they the main challengers to Stade Francais?

Absolutely. Not content with their flash shirts, Juan Martin Hernandez and Lionel Beauxis were showing off with their long-range drop goals.

Good stuff was it?

The pink wall was immovable such was their awe-inspiring defensive work. Human brick Mathieu Bastareaud punched so many holes in Ulster's defence, it began to look like a lump of Emmental cheese while Hernandez was like a remote such was his oozing class and control.
