'The players are enjoying their rugby' - Peelpublished at 19:12 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February 2023
FT: Scarlets 42-14 Edinburgh
Scarlets head coach Dwayne Peel on Viaplay: "Consistency has really helped us," he said. "The last two weeks, the boys have prepared really well and we saw that today.
"It's a difficult time for players with what's going on [in Welsh rugby], but they're turning up every day, performing and enjoying their rugby.
"The clarity and simplicity of the message is important. As a club, we've got a history as a good attacking side, but we want to have that bite in defence too.
"{Sam Lousi and Vaea Fifita] really suit the way we want to play - we want to keep the ball alive."
'We kept working hard' - Kalamafonipublished at 19:02 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February 2023
FT: Scarlets 42-14 Edinburgh
Scarlets number eight Sione Kalamafoni has been speaking to Viaplay post-match: "To keep the momentum going from the last few weeks feels really good," he said.
"I don't think it's a one-off, it shows the character of the boys. Even though we lost a lot of games, we kept working hard and that's showed in the last few weeks.
"I'm extremely proud [to captain Scarlets]. An honour and a win as well. I can see a bright future for Eddie James."

Edinburgh tie up the ball in contact, and the referee blows for full-time.
An excellent performance from the hosts against a very poor Edinburgh side.

Eddie James
This is so soft.
Eddie James, on his Scarlets debut, takes the ball at first receiver and just runs straight through the Edinburgh defensive line. A great moment for the youngster; one to forget for Edinburgh.
The conversion is good, and the visitors will be begging for the full-time whistle.

Joe Roberts takes Scarlets into Edinburgh's 22, but an attempted cross-kick towards Steff Evans is plucked out of the sky by James Lang and Edinburgh survive.

Not a lot happening at the moment.
We've had a scrum reset about five times, and Scarlets are in no rush.

Pure power earns Edinburgh a second try of the game.
They need a few more of those.

Scarlets 35-7 Edinburgh
A big carry from James Lang takes Edinburgh into the Scarlets 22.
Can they take advantage of some rare territory?

Vaea Fifita
This is getting embarrassing for Edinburgh. Dreamland for Scarlets!
Johnny McNicholl gathers his own deft little chip-and-chase, and releases Vaea Fifita who gallops clear to rub salt in the Edinburgh wound.
The conversion is good.

Ryan Conbeer
A second for Ryan Conbeer, a bonus point try for Scarlets, and more soft defending from Edinburgh.
Off the back of a scrum, Scarlets look to play, and after Steff Evans bumbs off James Lang's tackle, he releases Conbeer to score in the corner.
The conversion sails through from out wide.

And now Edinburgh earn themselves a penalty at scrum time, which is booted downfield.
Much better.

Scarlets 21-7 Edinburgh
A disastrous start to the second half for Edinburgh as Charlie Savala boots a box-kick out on the full.
From the resulting lineout though, the visitors wrap up the ball carrier and win a scrum.

In better news for Scottish rugby fans, Finn Russell was an unused replacement for Racing this afternoon.
Wrap that man in cotton wool.
