Over 5.5 tries.

These 2 sides have little chance of making it through this group simply because they play such open rugby. At this level the most important part of the game is the defence and the power of the forwards and to be honest both sides are lacking in these departments. Still it made for a super game in Wales last weekend which was end to end with some wonderful scores, without a doubt it was�the most exciting game of the round.

Im expecting the same type of game today. The Italians are improving all the time and have done pretty well of late in the ML. It was a bit of gamble to bring them�in but�with every passing week we have seen them improve.

Scarlets are also going well in the ML but to be fair doing well in domestic competition is probably as good as it gets. They have struggled in europe in the last few years, taking some real hammerings from the big boys. To be honest their side is not physical enough.

Both teams have good backs, lots of speed out wide, but pretty average forwards. So everything points towards another very exciting game. The strike players will get plenty of chances and�when they do we know both sides have the quality to post a very healthy total.

Over 5.5 tries with skybet at 2.10.
