JOSH Turnbull admits there will be hunger on both sides when the Scarlets host Cardiff Blues on Friday night – but insists no-one will be looking to take a bite out of Liam Williams. The two regions sit down for second helpings just two weeks after tucking into each in a bruising, pulsating battle at the Cardiff City Stadium where Wales full-back Williams was sent off, before the Blues claimed a 29-20 victory. The Scarlets player was shown a red card for leading with his head at a ruck and striking the head of Shane Lewis-Hughes, so will be absent for the first game of his three-match ban. Former Scarlet Turnbull is predicting another eventful clash – **which is live on S4C** - but says: *“Liam understands what he did.* *“It was clumsy and he will probably have looked back at it and think he could have done better in that area of the field.* *“Shane is a tough Rhondda boy, he’s had a pretty impressive last few months, and that will have been water off a duck’s back to him. It is what it is and we’ve all moved on from it.* *“But to be truthful, there was quite a bit of bite on the field last week, which is a good thing if I’m honest. It’s obviously competitive because you’re playing against your mates and there’s also the fact that selection for the Six Nations is now on the line.* *“Boys were trying to make an impression, but that’s healthy, and we had two star-studded back lines that wanted to get on top of the other.* *“Red cards often have a massive effect on a game, but if I’m honest I thought our half-backs controlled the game a little bit better and we deserved it.”*
