'That one's for Cubby!' Raucous scenes inside Scarlets dressing room emerge

The Scarlets really enjoyed their win over Cardiff on Saturday night.

It was a night of celebration at Parc y Scarlets with Scott Williams earning his 150th appearance for the club and Johnny McNicholl notching up his 100th, putting in a man of the match display to boot. It was also the first game since fan favourite James Davies - affectionately known as Cubby - announced he was retiring with immediate affect amid an ongoing battle with concussion symptoms.

Davies had not played since the autumn of 2020 and has now announced that he is walking away from the game.

Plenty of motivation, then, for Dwayne Peel's side. Despite picking up a red card in the 44th minute, they roared to victory against their rivals from down the M4 and what crowd managed to filter into the stadium for the 7:35pm kick off created a lively atmosphere.

And the celebrations spilled over into the dressing room, where players belted out a rendition of Sosban Fach.

A clip of the moment was posted by the Scarlets on social media, along with the caption: "That one's for Cubby."

The Scarlets now travel to the Arms Park for the reverse fixture against Cardiff this weekend.
