Scarlets fans turn on Pivac after woeful season

After the Scarlets fell to a 34-32 loss to the Dragons at the Principality Stadium on Saturday, many fans have pinpointed where their season has gone wrong.

It was the first game that the Dragons have won away from home since March 2015, and was the final nail in the coffin for a Scarlets side that have been a far cry from the team that made the Pro14 final and Champions Cup semi-finals last season, as well as winning the Pro14 the season before.

Many Scarlets fans have blamed the announcement of Wayne Pivac as Wales’ new coach as the turning point in their fortunes, and the beginning of their decline.

The New Zealander was announced as Warren Gatland’s successor in the summer of 2018, leaving him in charge of the Scarlets for one more year before Gatland moves on after the World Cup. While it may have been in the interests of the Welsh Rugby Union to make this announcement early, Scarlets fans feel it has had a detrimental affect on their season.

Some feel that Pivac has note been solely devoted to the team this season, which is understandable as he will have one eye on the job ahead.

However, had he not already secured his next job, some Scarlets fans have even argued that he would be sacked come the end of the season, which leaves Wales to question whether they made the right decision with his appointment.

This is what the fans have said:

The Scarlets have only won 10 games so far this season in the Pro14, to go alongside their one victory in the Champions Cup as well. They will now travel to the Ospreys in May to battle in a playoff for the remaining place in Europe’s elite competition. Judging by their current form, there is a likely possibility that Pivac will bow out ignominiously.

It is a shame to see the fans relationship with Pivac turn sour, but something was missing this past season, and many fans are rueing how his departure has been handled.

‘We don’t fear them’: Blitzboks ready for must-win clash with SVNS leaders

 I started getting into Bitcoin in late 2020 when the price was nearly at 30,000 USD, back at the time I was just following the footsteps of my friend, she saw it as a good long-term plan and I was on board with it so we started buying bit by bit at the end of every Month. Now fast forward to January 2023 when she came up with the great idea to go into crypto trading, this was supposed to be our game changer, we already accumulated a nice amount of Bitcoin since we started holding so once we invested with that we would make more than enough profits to last us and we won’t have to work anymore, amazing plan until it all went wrong, we invested with the wrong broker company that made away with all of our investments.. the agent blocked us Instagram and disappeared leaving us in the dark but all thanks to Infinite Digital Recovery, getting in contact with Infinite Digital Recovery made it possible that we recovered back our money today, it took him less than 48hours to trace the transactions and accessed the company website database to recover our already hanging funds in our account, it was then we found out they continued trading with our Money and kept generating more profits, very fraudulent act and we made sure to take every penny of ours thanks to Infinite Digital Recovery, You can also reach out to Infinite Digital Recovery for help for anyone in a similar situation, the contact details are below :
