80

FULL TIME!!

We don’t score at the death, but a HUGE win in the capital!!

79

Into the corner!

Last play of the game!

76

BIG BILL MATAAAAAAA!!!!

ANOTHER TRY!! What a second half from the home side! Chris Dean with a break on half way, we go through the offloads before the big man strides home to seal the win.

Healy misses his first of the night.

73

Cammy Scott on

He replaces Duhan. He’ll play at full-back, with Goose shifting to the wing.

71

YES BENZO!!!!!

WE DO SCORE THIS TIME!!! Sykesy causes havoc at the breakdown, and we turnover and strike from our own half. Bennett is charging down the line, with Fifita in hot pursuit… the Scarlets defender gets back, but his interception attempt goes back to Bennett. A slice of luck, but we’ve deserved it.

Healy with another conversion.

69

No try.

There was a knock on initially. One of the greatest tries that never was!

As you were…

69

OH MY WORD DUHAN CHIP AND CHASE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’M SORRY, WHAT?? Duhan wins the ball on half way, before chipping over the top, chasing his own kick to score!!

There’s a TMO check for a knock on though….

68

Double change

Chris Dean replaces Lang at centre, with Connor Boyle replacing Luke Crosbie at flanker.

66

SCHOOOOOEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

YESSSSSS!! We’ve been dominant in the second half, and have the points to show for it. It’s more patient play in the forwards, with Pierre Schoeman eventually crashing over for our bonus point try!

Healy continues a perfect evening with the boot.

64

No release!

Getting cagey as we approach the latter stages. Jamie a nuisance at every breakdown. Dan Davis thinks he has a turnover, but he didn’t release the tackled player.

Our lineout on the Scarlets 22!

60

MATT CURRRRRRIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

GET IN!! The forwards batter away at the Scarlets line patiently, before we go to the backs – Healy offloading to an onrushing Matt Currie who sails under the posts.

Healy an easy two-pointer.

58

Change at scrum half

Co-captain Ben Vellacott is on for Price.

58

On the charge

Goosen finds a gap, and releases Jamie Ritchie out wide! He’s close to scoring, and Scarlets give away a penalty stopping him.

56

Sykes on!

He replaces Hodgson in the second row.

Scarlets don’t exit well from the restart, we’ll have a lineout in their 22!

Scarlets lead.

An easy kick for Costelow.

55

No release.

We concede another penalty. Costelow will go for goal from infront of the posts.

Deliberate knock on

Ali Price the offender, knocking the ball on in the tackle. Scarlets into our 22 with a lineout.

53

Into the lead

We’re in front for the first time this evening.

52

Benzo jackal!

Gareth Davies makes a smart intercept, but is tackled an it’s Mark Bennett over the ball! Healy will go for the poles on this occasion.

50

Jamie!!

The flanker wins the ball in the air against the head, and we’re on the attack!!

49

Pinged.

We’re threatening with ball in hand, but Dan Davis does well to win a jackal penalty. Costelow clears to the 10 metre.

48

Scrum pen!!

Awesome work from the new front row! Healy get us into the Scarlets 22 with the penalty.

46

Knock on!

All Edinburgh at the start of the second half! Plumtree spills a long kick from Goosen – our scrum just in their half.

43

DUHIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!

YESSSSSS!!!! A much needed try, and we make the most of the early second half pressure. Ali Price plays a cute inside ball to Duhan at the base of the ruck, and the winger who charges through to score.

Healy adds the extras.

42

Another penalty

Vaea Fifita is pinged for a deliberate knock on – we launch an attack in the Scarlets 22!

41

Scarlets clear.

The lineout doesn’t function, and Scarlets clear their lines.

41

Scarlets pinged!

Healy gets us into Scarlets territory.

40

Back underway!

We’re back on the field, and have made changes, with a fresh front row.

Schoeman, Nel, and Ashman are all into the action.

40

Scarlets hold.

The maul was driving well, but Scarlets manage to stop it in its tracks just before the line. They hold their lead at the interval.

38

Off feet!

Scarlets give away the penalty this time, we’ll have another chance in their territory.

38

Pinged.

The visitors win a penalty and clear upfield.

35

Turnover.

Scarlets maul defence is strong again. It’ll be their scrum.

34

Scrum pen!

Great push from the front row!! We go for the corner.

33

Scarlets knock on

Vaea Fifita is almost clear for an intercept, but he’s knocked on. Our scrum on the Scarlets 22.

31

Javan turnover!

The prop gets over ball brilliantly to win a penalty! We’ll have a lineout on their 22 from the resulting kick.

28

Try Scarlets.

Ali Price’s box kick is charged down, and Gareth Davies races away to score.

Costelow misses the conversion.

26

Defence holds

We’re weathering a storm here, but doing so well. Scarlets carrying dangerously, but eventually the ball goes to touch. It’ll be our lineout, but a tricky exit from here.

25

HUGE defence!

We’ve pinched the ball back! Ali kicks clear. Scarlets still with attacking ball – they’ll have a lineout on our 22.

22

Knock on.

Scarlets are threatening again, but J is on hand to make a clean steal. His pass to Javan Sebastian is dropped though, so the men from Llanelli will have an attacking scrum on our line.

21

Kick is good

The visitors are back in the lead.

20

Benzo pinged

The centre puts in a monster shot in midfield, but gives a penalty away for no clear release. Costelow calls for the tee.

17

WES GOOSEN YESSSSSSSSSS

WHAT DID BIG WES HAVE FOR BREAKFAST!!!!?!?!?!? Another brilliant break from Goosen, and this time he finishes! An unreal display from the kiwi flyer so far.

Healy adds the extras to deservedly bring us level.

16

Goosen!!

Wes is in the mood tonight, again beating a couple of defenders! He’s released down the wing, and offloads into a Scarlets player to force our lineout. Into the 22, with the pressure mounting on the Scarlets line.

14

SO close!!

We come so close to our first score! Goosen makes a brilliant break, before releasing Currie. He can’t quite get to the line, but we recycle the ball well. Bennett dummies, but his pass to Goosen just evades the fullback. If he gets there, it’s a certain try.

Scarlets have a lineout on their 5 metre, but that was much more like it from Edinburgh.

12

Scarlets hold

The lineout strike doesn’t go to plan, Scarlets clear but only up to the 22.

10

Another penalty!

Better from the home side, with Crosbie carrying well in the midfield. Scarlets not rolling away, and we go to the corner again.

9

Turnover

We spill possession, Scarlets are able to clear.

8

Scarlets pinged!

Some scrappy play from both sides, a brilliant aerial take and carry from Goosen the pick of the action. Scarlets don’t roll at the breakdown, and we go to the corner.

5

Try Scarlets

The visitors score the opening try of the game. Healy has a kick charged down, and the Scarlets pile on the pressure. Vaea Fifita gets his arms free and offloads to Tom Rogers who finishes well in the corner.

Costelow adds the extras.

3

Close!

Great start from the home side! The maul is motoring forward, and we spend the opening exchanges camped on the Scarlets line.

We knock on with Boan close to scoring, but Scarlets clear their lines. A promising start, however.
