Llanelli looking for Euro windfall

LLANELLI SCARLETS anticipate a minimum £1.5m windfall if they become the first Welsh team to be crowned European champions.

Llanelli head to Leicester on Saturday for a Heineken Cup semi-final with the treble-chasing Tigers, having already emphatically underlined their title credentials.

The Scarlets have won all seven of their matches in this season’s tournament, knocking out champions Munster and gaining stunning away victories over Toulouse, Ulster and London Irish. And such outstanding form means they have every chance of preventing an English club regaining the trophy despite the presence of three semi finalists in Leicester, Wasps and Northampton.
