‘Scarlets buzzing after Six’
Today, 5.30pm
WALES hooker Ken Owens has warned Sale there is a ‘red wave’ headed their way in Europe today.
Owens believes the momentum from Wales’s Six Nations triumph will spill over into Scarlets’ tilt at the Heineken Champions Cup, with eight of the championshipwinning squad involved against the Sharks in their last-16 clash.
Scarlets captain Owens said: “There is definitely a buzz around Welsh rugby. There has been huge confidence gathered from the Six Nations coming back to the region.
“I’d like to think the confidence, buzz and feelgood factor of Wales winning the Six Nations will spill over.
“It’s bouncing around the squad here with the boys who have come back but also the boys who have been here all along.
“Generally, teams from the Gallagher Premiership are set-piece orientated and very direct. With
Sale’s South African influence they’re very good at it. We’re going to have to front up physically.”
