BBC Three - Ruck Stars, Series 1, Episode 2

The Scarlets face Cardiff, James has a dilemma and Lucca is injured after a tackle.

After losses for both the Ospreys and Scarlets, the teams have to rally themselves for game two. The Scarlets face top-of-the-table Cardiff on their home pitch, Parc Y Scarlets.

Blood, sweat and tackles - the season continues for the Scarlets and Ospreys under-18s academies.

After the blow of a first-game loss for both sides, the teams have to pick themselves up to push for better results in game two. The Ospreys medical team investigates Dafydd’s concussion to determine how long he’ll have to wait before he’ll be allowed to play again. The Scarlets coaches go hard on the players in an effort to ignite their season and get a win on the board as they head into their second game against top-of-the-table Cardiff on their home turf at Parc Y Scarlets.

We meet James, who would love to revive the success of his rugby career after an injury, but a decision looms on whether to focus on his other passion, singing, or go all in on rugby - all while helping out on the family farm.

Scarlet Will H catches up with his best friend Will T, who is struggling to return to the team due to a broken collarbone and has to watch on as his mate leads the line in the match against Cardiff. A big tackle leads to injury for scrum half Lucca.
