Llanelli Scarlets


...de la Scotsman:

"In many ways, Llanelli is like the Borders in that it is the main town in a rural area, and the rugby club is the hub of the community. Everywhere west of Swansea is Welsh-speaking, and Welsh is the first language for at least half of the team and most of the supporters. When I go to do corporate things, everyone's always chattering away in Welsh, and after training you'll get little groups of players sitting, talking to each other in Welsh. It reminds you that this club is more than a job to them: it's part of their culture."
