Scarlets
West Wales' rugby heartbeat and one of the most passionate rugby communities in the world. The Scarlets carry the legacy of Llanelli RFC — the club that famously defeated the 1972 All Blacks — and have built on that proud history to become Pro12 champions and consistent European competitors. Scarlet red, passionate, and deeply Welsh.
История
The Scarlets were formed in 2003 as the regional successor to Llanelli RFC, one of the most storied clubs in Welsh rugby history. Llanelli's greatest moment came on 31 October 1972 when they defeated the All Blacks 9–3 at Stradey Park — a result immortalised in Welsh rugby folklore and celebrated in song. The Scarlets inherited that proud tradition and the fierce loyalty of a rugby community in west Wales that is among the most passionate in the world.
„Скарлетс“ спечелиха титлата в Pro12 през сезон 2016–17 под ръководството на треньора Уейн Пивак, побеждавайки „Мюнстер“ на финала на стадион „Авива“ в Дъблин – победа, която донесе огромна радост на Западен Уелс и утвърди „Скарлетс“ като един от водещите клубове в европейския ръгби. Регионът е дал забележителен брой уелски международни играчи, включително Джонатан Дейвис, Лиъм Уилямс и Кен Оуенс, които по-късно представляват Уелс и Британските и ирландски лъвове. „Скарлетс“ продължават да играят ръгби с атакуващия нюх и страст, които определят ръгбито в Западен Уелс в продължение на повече от 150 години.
История и цветове на комплекта
Scarlet red — the colour of the Scarlets is one of the most distinctive and celebrated in Welsh rugby. The deep red shirt has been worn by Llanelli and the Scarlets for over 150 years and is instantly recognisable across the rugby world. It is a colour that carries the weight of history — from the 1972 victory over the All Blacks to the 2017 Pro12 title — and is worn with enormous pride by players and supporters from across west Wales.
The Scarlets' home red jersey is worn at Parc y Scarlets — a modern stadium in Llanelli that opened in 2008 and has become one of the most atmospheric venues in Welsh rugby. The ground sits at the heart of a community where rugby is not just a sport but a way of life, and the scarlet red of the home shirt connects every generation of supporter to the club's extraordinary history.
