Llanelli To Fly The Flag

Llanelli To Fly The Flag

All this week on wru.co.uk we’ve been asking the question “Which Welsh team will progress furthest in the Heineken Cup?”

Share this page:

Fifty three percent of you think Gareth Jenkins and his Scarlet Army will carry the Welsh flag furthest into Europe.

Neath got 21 % of the vote, while Cardiff- who are in a very tough group got 16%.

Not many of you went for Swansea (6%) or Newport (4%).

Here’s what people are saying on the streets of Cardiff…

“Newport have had a sting of defeats, and I think the loss to Cardiff hurt them badly. I think they’ll struggle to get out of the group.” Craig 33, Cardiff

“Cardiff have the strongest squad in Welsh rugby, I think they’ll go furthest out of the Welsh teams.” Matt, 22, Cardiff

“Neath just don’t have the cutting edge.” Rees, 20, St. Mellons

“I think Swansea will do better than people will expect. They have a very physical and strong team, so on their day they could be dangerous to anyone.” Chris 18, St. Mellons

“Llanelli have the best chance of all. They know how to play in Europe- and know how to get results when they need them.” Rees 20 St. Mellons

“They (Swansea) have the players, but they’re just not functioning. They will have a tough job to get out of the group.” Simon 27, Porth

“Neath could get through- they have a hard game against Leicester, but if they do OK then I think they will do well.” Simon 27, Porth

“Newport simply haven’t got enough quality to get though.” Matt 22, Cardiff

“Cardiff are in a hard group. I think they could get through but they will have to win all their home games to stand a chance.” Simon, 27 Swansea

What do you think…?

Will Llanelli go one step further and make it to the Heineken Cup final?

Can Newport prove everybody wrong?

Is it Cardiff’s turn to take European centre stage?
