Plumtree wants Wales place back as Scarlets chase the URC play-offs
South Wales Echo
|May 16, 2025
TAINE Plumtree is confident the Scarlets can compete for the United Rugby Championship title this season as he targets a place on Wales' tour of Japan following a personal “wake up call”.
The Scarlets claimed a stunning victory in Johannesburg against the Lions last Sunday on the back of a noteworthy win over Leinster last month. Dwayne Peel's side face the Sharks in Durban tomorrow and are in a strong position to reach the URC play-offs even if they lose.
But Plumtree believes the Scarlets can achieve far more this season than simply reaching the top eight.
“Yes, 100%,” said Plumtree when asked if the Scarlets can go far in the play-offs.
“We are confident with each other as a group and we've got good coaches.
“The play-offs is a bit foreign to a lot of these boys in the team now but you've got to touch back to the good leaders we have in this team like Josh Macleod, Gar Davies and Sam Lousi who have all been in those spots.
