Ulster Rugby vs Llanelli Scarlets

GUINNESS PRO12 STAND OUT PLAYERS SO FAR

While the Ospreys, Cardiff Blues, Ulster and Glasgow are the four sides who still boast 100 percent records, let’s look at the success of some of the individuals involved according to official stats partner, Opta...

MOST METRES Scarlets full-back Liam Williams has been one of the shining lights in a poor couple of matches for his region with 241 metres run ahead of Ospreys full-back Dan Evans (192). Newport Gwent Dragons Hallam Amos notched up an impressive 164 metres in the 11-6 victory over Zebre last Friday with his tally achieved in just one match.

CLEAN BREAKS Scotland wing Tommy Seymour has been the standout attacking performer in terms of end product with his four-try display against Leinster. So it’s no surprise to find him at the top of the clean break category with 10, three ahead of Ulster rising star Jacob Stockdale. The top Welsh player is Ospreys full-back Dan Evans with five clean breaks, one ahead of regional team-mate Ben John and Cardiff Blues scrum-half Tomos Williams, who has enjoyed a productive start to the season.
