<p>We start our final episode of the season with a chat about the Scarlets shop and the idea of a URC draft system before moving on to our Scarlets awards. We pick out our player of the season, breakthrough player, moment of the season, most entertaining player and most entertaining game.</p> <p>It is a packed show with plenty of other talking points.</p>

<p>With very little Scarlets activity to discuss, we take a final look at the community game for this season and assess where Pembrokeshire/West Wales teams are.</p> <p>We also chat through the Oil for Wales announcement and where that leaves the Scarlets and the wider game.</p> <p>Plus - we want your nominations for our end of season awards.</p>

<p>We still have plenty of action and games to decide promotion places at the end of this season - Division 2 West in particular goes down to the wire with one of three sides able to secure the last promotion spot this weekend.</p> <p><br></p> <p>It has been a fantastic but turbulent season - the end of season review in the coming weeks should be epic.</p>

<p>There was a little bit of Scarlets news to cover but this week was mainly about the community game - and there is a lot to cover with some promotion spots looking like they will be decided on the final day of the season.</p>

<p>A disappointing end to the season but like any roller coaster, you remember some bits more than others!</p> <p>The Glasgow game gets discussed, as does those leaving and the coaching change arounds.</p> <p>The community game is where things are getting really interesting with Narberth pushing Pontypool close and Pembrokeshire teams battling at the top of all 3 lower divisions. With a couple of weeks of games left, they are all going down to the wire!</p> <p><br></p>

<p>Judgement day was a tough watch but we have a European semi final to look forward to and a fantastic end to the community season heading our way.</p> <p>More importantly, the Pembs schools U15&#39;s have a final on Wednesday for everyone to get behind!</p>

<p>This week we discussed the comings and goings at PYS plus the performance against Glasgow - what we can take from that game and what not to read in to it.</p> <p>The community game is really where the action is over the coming weeks, with the back log of fixtures making the next few weeks vitally important for Pembrokeshire sides.</p> <p>It is all starting to get tasty!</p>

<p>Big M takes the ship for a solo run through the happy waters of the European challenge cup, stopping to swim in the clear waters of running rugby, keeping the ball in hand and disciplined rugby. He sails through the league fixture against Glasgow before heading for home through the uncertain waters of the community game and then back home to the mother in law.</p> <p>Enjoy your journey with Captain Martyn before he gives himself a promotion and a bigger ship!</p>

<p>So much stuff to cover this weeks - the womens finals for HWest and Whitland, local rugby is starting to hot up, junior finals and transfer news. Then we talk about a pretty average game last week and where things need to improve for the quarter final game this Friday.</p> <p><br></p> <p>We did have a few issues with signal and clarity this week so please bare with us - there were a couple of bits that we just couldn&#39;t edit out.</p>

<p>Our reaction and understanding of tonights announcement by Llanelli RFC and The Scarlets.</p> <p>This was recorded prior to the announcement so some of the detail may need further clarification - we will update you as best we can. </p>

<p>There are chip shops in Llanelli that now offer &#39;Battered Shark&#39; in their menu after last Saturdays game - and what a game it was.</p> <p>Lee G and Big M enjoy their review of that game and look forward to the Brive game with the same enthusiasm.</p> <p>Attention is then turned to the community game with some big results, especially for Pembrokeshire Schools U15s and Llangwm Youth and a huge weekend ahead at Crymych RFC!</p>

<p>Martyn is back for this weeks episode where we focus on the Sharks visit to PYS this weekend and what we can expect from that game.</p> <p>The URC season seems to be coming to and end earlier than normal as the playoff places are out of reach for us but we still have the Welsh Shield to play for.</p> <p>The community game is starting to heat up so we take a look at a couple of key fixtures for the rest of the season and the junior game has two vital fixtures for this weekend.</p> <p>Enjoy your rugby </p>

<p>Lee G is on his own this week and is focussing on the Wales games against Italy and France. He takes a look at how the Italian game was won and how we came to losing it - but a win is a win and Wales needed it for confidence more than anything.</p> <p>He takes a look at the side selected to play France and what we can expect from it - and what we can't expect from them.</p> <p>Lee also run through some of the developments that we are looking at trying for next season and how we may try a few of them out before the end of this season - if you would like to get involved, please message us on Facebook, Twitter or email us on scarletspembs@gmail.com</p>

<p>Not many sides go to Munster and score 6 tries and then still come away without a win - we discuss that in detail, all the positives and a couple of negatives - and what we can expect in the future.</p> <p>Martyn caught up with Aled Waters to discuss his season so far with Tenby RFC and Pembrokeshire Schools 15's making the Bowl Semi-Finals - it is always good to hear from Aled, he is a top bloke.</p> <p>Then we talk through the junior fixtures, the community results from last weekend and our predictions for the games being played this weekend - finishing on our expectations for the Wales game.</p> <p>There is plenty going on - enjoy the show.</p>

<p>We start with the Wales game from the weekend and quickly move on to the problems inside the WRU and Welsh Rugby. The effects of the last couple of weeks will be felt for many years to come and are the result of many years past - so it wont be the last.</p> <p>We talk through how it will affect the Scarlets, who we expect to leave and what kind of team we can expect in the future. We also look at what happens if we have 22 players on injury in the future and the effect of reducing academies etc as well as throwing in some helpful suggestions.</p> <p>Then we look at the usual community rugby and junior rugby fixtures for the week - then we double check to make sure we covered everything.</p>

<p>We make the most of discussing rugby on the field and we discuss the Edinburgh game from last weekend in all its glory.</p> <p>The U18s girls also pull off a deserved and hard fought win over Cardiff while the boys U18s took care of RGC - an all round winning weekend for Scarlets.</p> <p>We also dip our feet into local rugby with a run down of the scores and where that leaves everyone in the table.</p>

<p>Lee also has a really good chat with Daryl, head of the Scarlets U 18s girls programme. We talk through all of the girls game the challenges that girls face, why it is as good - if not better than the boys/mens game and why girls are easier to coach!</p> <p>If you are the slightest bit curious about this side of the game - then this is a good place to start.</p>

<p>We reluctantly talk through the Wales v Scotland game and our expectations for this weekends Scarlets v Edinburgh game. We also bring you Scarlets news from all of the age grade games and a preview of the community games for this weekend.</p> <p>We have a chat about Sione leaving, the WRU agreement and what we are expecting to happen down west!</p> <p>Another busy show and we left some bits out.</p>

<p>We still have plenty of Scarlets stuff to discuss, even though the senior team isn't playing. We run through the boys and girls Under 18s games, the start of the Scarlets West &amp; East U16s games and even a bit of U 15s for good measure.</p> <p>We couldn't avoid talking about the Wales v Scotland game and the U 20s there as well. In between Wifi failures, dogs, kids and builders - it made for an eventful pod!</p>
