    Brilliantly worked score for Glasgow Warriors. Tremendous line-breaks from Jack Dempsey, then JP du Preez, open the door.

    The 6ft 11ins South African flips on to Scott Cummings, who sends George Horne scurrying home.

    In the middle of all that, TMO Eric Gauzins was alerting Mathieu Raynal to some element of foul play.

    The comms between TMO and referee weren't working, so having given the try, Raynal trots towards the big screen to spool through the footage.

    Glasgow start the second half with a spree of attacking phases just inside the Scarlets half.

    Sione Vailanu looks hungry, making three telling ball-carries.

    Wales coach Warren Gatland and his staff are here to watch this game ahead of the extended World Cup training squad being announced on Monday.

    So a last chance for hopefuls to impress.

    A terrific first half from the Scarlets kingpin, Josh Macleod.

    Three turnovers at the breakdown and more tackles - 10 - than anybody else.

    The teams are back out for the decisive second 40 minutes.

    The game's top carrier so far is Glasgow prop Zander Fagerson.

    He has carried with huge dynamism this season and that belligerence is on full display again in the Llanelli sunshine.

    The big man has made 10 carries already, gaining 15m, and won a couple of scrum penalties too.

    Scarlets will take that 14-7 half-time lead after the opening quarter that Glasgow dominated.

    Flanker Josh Macleod and Dan Davis have helped turned the tide with their breakdown work and Scarlets have put Glasgow under pressure.

    Glasgow are determined to stick to the running style that has served them so well this season.

    A fascinating second half awaits.

  9. 'Scarlets have bounced backed well'published at 18:33 British Summer Time 29 April 2023

    Scarlets centre Scott Williams on S4C:

    "Glasgow had a great start with that try at the start of the game, but Scarlets have bounced backed well.

    "We need to work a bit on our defence and then hopefully we'll go even better."

    The half-time stats make for interesting reading.

    Glasgow have enjoyed more possession, but Scarlets have had the bulk of territory - 62% of it, in fact.

    Scarlets have made roughly half as many carries as Glasgow, but missed an ugly 18 of their 109 attempted tackles. Barring the Stafford McDowall try, it hasn't really cost them.

    The Warriors have put themselves under pressure on several occasions, and a ropey line-out will be high on Franco Smith's list of priorities at the interval.

    The visitors have won only five of their nine throws so far.

    The bold Sheriff and his pals will be happy with how this one is tracking.

    HT: Scarlets 14-7 Glasgow

    "Glasgow don’t want rucks, they don’t want to bring Dan Davis and Josh Macleod into the game," says former Ospreys coach Sean Holley on BT Sport.

    "They want to move the ball around and keep it away from the Scarlets flankers."

    That's a dreadful decision. That's no different to what the Scarlets boys have been doing to steal the ball.

    He's penalised Jamie Bhatti, it's really hard for the referees because the pace of the game but I think that's a really poor decision.

    What a frenetic first 40 minutes at Parc y Scarlets.

    Glasgow came rampaging out of the traps, Stafford McDowall blasting home inside five minutes after some excellent build-up, handling and power.

    Since then, though, it's been all Scarlets.

    The penalty count has climbed as Glasgow compounded error with infringement.

    Sam Costelow banged over two three-pointers, before Glasgow mess up a line-out, Scarlets pinch the ball, and Steff Evans winds up with a simple run-in.

    Costelow's kick right on half-time gives the hosts a seven-point lead at the break.

    As things stand, the Scarlets are heading for Dublin and their first European final.

    Some second 40 in store...

    Jamie Bhatti is penalised for not supporting his own weight at the breakdown, and Sam Costelow lines up a straightforward goal from beneath the shadow of the Warriors posts.

    Warriors lose the ball in contact and they've got no-one in the backfield because Kyle Steyn's taken the up and under and Costelow makes them pay with a fantastic kick.

    Ooft, an incredible take from Kyle Steyn moves Glasgow into the Scarlets half for the first time in a while.

    From the next phase, though, Warriors lose possession and there's a terrific kick from Sam Costelow bobbling into the away 22.

    It's a 50-22, meaning Scarlets will throw in at the line-out.

    Two minutes til half-time. Can they stretch that lead?

    Morgan Jones is off after copping that heavy Fagerson hit to the head.

    On comes Carwyn Tuipulotu, cousin of Glasgow centre Sione, with Vaea Fifita moving from number eight to the second-row.

    That's a third injury-enforced Scarlets sub.

    Morgan Jones just gets his head on the wrong side.

    A little bit of footwork from Fagerson gets the Scarlets second-rower in the wrong position.
