Welsh Derby Time For Cardiff Rugby, Scarlets: 'Hopefully We Pack It Out'
Cardiff Rugby faces Scarlets in a Welsh Derby in Round 4.
There’s set to be a bumper crowd at the Arms Park for this Welsh derby rematch, two weeks on from Cardiff’s 24-15 victory down in Llanelli.
Tickets have been selling rapidly, and it should be a special occasion, with supporters of both teams out in force.
“The derbies are always enjoyable games in terms of the rivalry and the amount of fans you get," Cardiff coach Matt Sherratt said. "We saw a lot of that last season with sellouts, so hopefully we pack it out.

“I’ve had a look at how the tickets are going, and it looks like it’s going to be a busy day at the Arms Park, with lots of Scarlets fans coming, as well.
“It’s quite a funny one, as we played them two weeks ago.
“We expect to get the very best Scarlets team coming here and for them to be more physical than they were at their place and to have a little bit more ball movement and some more ambition.
“When they have come here in the past, they have tried to move the ball around a little bit and play how the Scarlets have traditionally played. So, we have planned on the basis of them coming here and being at their absolute best.
“They were just a couple of minutes away from beating both Benetton and Connacht. At some stage, they will get one. We have certainly not put any emphasis on our last game against them. We have got to expect the best of them to turn up.”
Scarlets coach Dwayne Peel weighed in, too.
“We always seem to have a great crowd at the Arms Park," Peel said. "There are a lot of west Walians living in Cardiff who come out with their red and support us. It’s great to have them. You’ve obviously got traveling support, as well, which is great to see.
“It’s always a good atmosphere and a sea of red for a lot of it. Hopefully, it will be the same for us this week and we can get a good performance for them.
“We are excited. It’s a fast track there. It’s two teams that want to play rugby, so it will be a good game, I am sure.
“I think occasions like this are fantastic. It’s definitely a positive for the game in Wales.”
He added: “There’s just two weeks in between fixtures, so there’s a bit of added spice to it that we can get back and have another crack at them.”
Giving his thoughts on the rematch, Scarlets prop Henry Thomas said: “I feel like we owe them one massively. We were 15-0 up at home and let them back into that game. The boys are just excited to get out there. It will be a bit of a hectic crowd down there, which is great.”
