Welsh teams in Europe! by t' Merthyr Yoth

Last weekend we seen the start of the new european season, and even though there is only 3 out of the 4 welsh regions involved this year it looked promising to see that they all won! 2 out of the 3 where away wins which makes it impressive, but the game that made it more impressive was the ospreys win over the English champions Sale Sharks! They played to the final whistle and it paid off with interest!

The only disappointing win i feel is the way the Scarlets let the London Irish come back at them in the last 20 mins of the game, but they still come away with a bonus point win on an away game which has proven to be costly in past years of the competition.
The Cardiff Blues played well to win in France and hopefully will be able to continue this form as they have been placed in one of the hardest groups, with Leicester and current champions Munster!

Lets all hope that last week was not just a bit of luck for our Welsh teams but one of the last steps showing that Welsh rugby is becoming great again!
