By Peter Hanson
Unbeaten Glasgow Warriors cemented their position atop Conference A by battering Ospreys in Pro14, while Southern Kings’ long wait for a first win goes on as they were downed by Scarlets’ second-half revival.

It has been a superb start to the season for the Warriors, who made it nine from nine with a 47-6 rout away to an Ospreys side that are bottom of the pool.
The visitors ran in seven tries, with George Horne scoring twice and Adam Hastings, Scott Cummings, George Turner, Brandon Thomson and Leonardo Sarto also dotting down.
Munster remain second in Conference A, after running out comfortable 36-19 winners at lowly Zebre – Alex Wootton scoring twice in the second half.

South African franchise Southern Kings appeared to be heading for a shock victory against Conference B leaders Scarlets as tries from Michael Makase, Yaw Penxe and Martin du Toit had the hosts 23-10 ahead just after half-time.
Ioan Nicholas and Werner Kruger’s converted tries put the visitors ahead and, although Harlon Klaasen’s score had the Kings briefly back in front, Daniel Jones completed a dramatic 34-30 win for Scarlets with nine minutes remaining.

Really nice balance but I'm not sure why Cole, the best scrummaging tighthead is starting on the bench. Surely you'd start with him to grind the setpiece and try and win some scrum pens and then bring on Sinckler to have impact in the loose when the game opens up.
Go to commentsDuring ten years of rugby I was concussed twice. Both times was when my head made contact with my opponent's hip bone as he fell on my head. Rugby has an integral element of competing for space through physical domination. If you have to drive through the tackle with your head down, that puts the tackler at a serious risk. it's might work for 60 kg kids but not in the fury of the clash between 100kg athletes. Even if this insane law change does get any traction which I seriously doubt, this is going to end up in classical case of unintended consequences.
