    Moldovan Dimitri Arhip kicks the ball on and when it's sent back with interest Rhys Webb gets in Dan Evans' way and the full-back knocks on. Attacking scrum for Scarlets on the Ospreys' 22.

    Twenty minutes to go and the Scarlets are stopping the Ospreys playing - winning a penalty even after Alun Wyn Jones robs their lineout throw-in.

    BBC Radio Wales commentator

    "The Scarlets need to keep as much of the ball in the scrum as possible - that's the one area where they have the upper hand."

  9. Penalty for Scarlets (S Shingler) Ospreys 17-12 Scarletspublished at 18:40 Greenwich Mean Time 27 December 2014

    Scrummage pummels Ospreys again. Penalty chance for Steven Shingler who chips it over.

  10. Close callpublished at 18:38 Greenwich Mean Time 27 December 2014

    This is not as clear-cut as the Pro 12 table suggests it should be. Scarlets have made an impressive start to the second half and the scrum is a real weapon for them now as they turn over an Ospreys put-in to gain an attacking platform.

    Rebecca Williams tweets: "Referee has absolutely no clue at the scrum. Samson [Lee] is pummelling them #Scarlets

    Cerith Evans says: "Rhys Webb and Dan Biggar are on fire #cmonOSPREYS"

    Andrew Priestley writes: "Scarlets are a great attacking side, if only they could learn how to defend consistently well. It's the only thing holding them back #ScrumV"

  12. Scarlet feverpublished at 18:36 Greenwich Mean Time 27 December 2014

    The Scarlets are warming to their task here, with their scrum posing all sorts of problems for the Ospreys.

  13. Williams' class is clearpublished at 18:33 Greenwich Mean Time 27 December 2014

    Liam Williams is showing why some in Wales think he should be starting at full-back for the national team with Leigh Halfpenny moving back to the wing. Super tackle on Natoga resulting in a turnover penalty for the Scarlets.

  14. All quiet on the western derby frontpublished at 18:31 Greenwich Mean Time 27 December 2014

    As you'll gather from the TMO discussion here, it's a low key start to the second period.

  15. Mr Bevan's pedigreepublished at 18:30 Greenwich Mean Time 27 December 2014

    Of course Derek Bevan - today's TMO - has a pretty impressive CV. He refereed the 1991 World Cup final between England and Australia.

  16. TMO silencepublished at 18:27 Greenwich Mean Time 27 December 2014

    We've had five minutes of the second half and no TMO discussion yet!

  17. Get involvedpublished at 18:25 Greenwich Mean Time 27 December 2014

    Gareth John Bale (not the Real Madrid man by the way) has tweeted his summary of the first half: "Kick off. Bit of rugby. TMO. TMO. TMO. Cup of tea. TMO. Kick. TMO. TMO. Bit of rugby. TMO".

    That's about right, I'd say.

    But he doesn't have the distance as the kick falls well short.

  19. Lydiate is awarded the trypublished at 18:23 Greenwich Mean Time 27 December 2014

    So it wasn't Dimitri Arhip under that pile of bodies - it was Wales international Dan Lydiate marking his debut with a try for the Ospreys.

    Don't panic Scarlets fans - it's still only 17-9!

  20. Here they comepublished at 18:22 Greenwich Mean Time 27 December 2014

    The teams are coming back out for the second half. Will Ospreys be back on top of the table tonight or will the Scarlets cause a shock.
