Nigel davies is looking for his Scarlets to keep the home fires burning as he casts an eye over the forthcoming season. He talks to the Western Mail's Simon Thomas.
"Davies’ men won only seven of their 14 competitive fixtures at Parc y Scarlets last term, losing six of their last nine on home turf. It was an unsatisfactory return from their first full season at the successor to the history-laden Stradey Park.
"And it was a contributory factor to them finishing as the bottom Welsh side in the Magners League, leaving them having to rely on the Blues winning the Amlin Cup in order to secure a Heineken Cup spot via the back door. Davies knows there has to be a significant improvement in their own back yard this time around.
"...We clearly understand what we need to be doing and where we want to be. But we just hope we can do our talking on the pitch. We don’t want to end up where we did last season and if we win 80 or 90 per cent of our home games we won’t.
"We have got clear goals and objectives which we’ve set in terms of where we want to finish."
