[Six Nations] Wales eager to transform Parc y Scarlets into their home against Scotland

Daily Mail  

From fake fan-tracks to pre-recorded hymns and sanitation stations, the new world has drastically altered match days in Wales. Wales host Scotland in their final game of their Six Nations campaign on Saturday afternoon Parc y Scarlets in Llanelli will play host to Wales' final Six Nations encounter on the weekend WALES' LAST 12 GAMES OUTSIDE CARDIFF Aug 27, 2003 – v Romania Racecourse, Wrexham Nov 1, 2002 – v Romania Racecourse Wrexham Apr 11, 1999 – v England Wembley Feb 20, 1999 – v Ireland Wembley Nov 14, 1998 – v S Africa Wembley Apr 5, 1998 – v France Wembley Mar 7, 1998 – v Scotland Wembley Nov 29, 1997 – v N Zealand Wembley Nov 21, 1998 – v Argentina Stradey Park, Llanelli Feb 7, 1998 – v Italy Stradey Park, Llanelli Nov 16, 1997 – v Tonga St Helen’s, Swansea Aug 30, 1997 – v Romania Racecourse, Wrexham It will be eerie and quiet not rocking and raging like under the roof in the capital. Alex Luff, the Principality Stadium operations manager, has helped stage Anthony Joshua fights, Take That concerts, the 2017 Champions League final and more than 100 Wales Tests in Cardiff but his task to transform Parc y Scarlets, firstly into a Covid-safe arena and secondly one fit for an international, has been his tallest order. Wales' national ground - the Principality Stadium - is standing by as a Nightingale hospital still 'The venue will be transformed with a lot of red branding to make it feel like home. Come anthem time on Saturday, Wales have enlisted the help of a 250-strong choir Wales will be without their hugely vocal backing from their fans at the Principality Stadium 'You'll definitely hear Hymns and Arias and all the Welsh songs, although virtually, on the match-day broadcast.'
