The Scarlets ripped Glasgow apart last week, but they also ripped the skin off their limbs in winning. Robin Davey says this latest incident involving injuries on artificial surfaces needs urgent attention. Scarlets players with gruesome friction burns deserve a better response than the disinterested shrug of the shoulders from Glasgow. No-one who plays rugby should expect to come off the field looking like they have had a nasty accident with a dodgy gas stove.
