    It was great work from Dan Sheehan there putting the Scarlets under pressure.

    It’s been a frustrating time for the Scarlets, they’ve been in the game and battling, but errors have been very costly for them.

    A big call by Dwayne Peel.

    Scarlets fly-half Sam Costelow is replaced by Ioan Lloyd.

  4. Sin-bin: Alec Hepburnpublished at 56 mins

    Leinster 22-14 Scarlets

    Scarlets prop Alec Hepburn is shown a yellow card for what was deemed a cynical offence on his own line.

    It was initially a great tackle from Hepburn but he was playing the ball on the ground at a ruck as the visitors are down to 14 men for 10 minutes.

  5. Marnus makes immediate impressionpublished at 54 mins

    Leinster 22-14 Scarlets

    Scarlets have their own top-class replacement with South African hooker Marnus van der Merwe coming on for Ryan Elias and making an immediate impression with a turnover penalty.

    That was unbelievable play from Gibson-Park for Leinster's try.

    He’s dummied to go on the blind side. It’s a great pass to Prendergast and a perfectly weighted chip through.

    A very well-worked try by Leinster.

    The depth of Leinster’s bench, it’s probably the biggest difference between all the Welsh regions and the Irish teams.

    Most regions can put out a strong 15 that can compete, but it’s that depth of squad they really struggle with.

  10. Will rain play a part in result?published at 45 mins

    Leinster 15-14 Scarlets

    The rain is causing some issue for both sides in Dublin.

    Scarlets hooker Ryan Elias was drying the ball before a not straight throw into a line-out in his own 22.

  11. Replacementpublished at 42 mins

    Leinster 15-14 Scarlets

    Leinster flanker Josh van der Flier remains off the field with Scott Penny staying on the field after coming on in the 28th minute.

    The British and Irish Lions will be hoping that is nothing serious.

    HT: Leinster 15-14 Scarlets

    Rhys Patchell
    Wales fly-half on BBC One Wales

    Big games are all about making the most of the opportunities that you get.

    Both teams have been a little wasteful from line-outs, especially Leinster at the end of that first half.

    Gibson-Park, rather than slowing the game down and setting up the driving line-out, he upped the tempo and in the end, he stung his own team with his ambition.

    HT: Leinster 15-14 Scarlets

    Alun Wyn Jones
    Former Wales captain on BBC One Wales

    I think after the first few minutes and the score went to 12-0, there were a few looks in the room thinking is it going to be one of those days.

    But when the game started to open up, Leinster looked under pressure.

    It’s game on and there are two fully-loaded benches to come on in the second half.

    Gareth Rhys Owen

    What a turnaround and what a game we have now.

    They cannot believe it and I’m not sure anyone in this stadium can believe it.

    All the money was on a Leinster try and 96 metres further down the field, it’s a Scarlets score.

  16. Half-time: Leinster 15-14 Scarletspublished at 15:47 British Summer Time 31 May

    Leinster came flying out of the blocks to set up an early lead but Scarlets came roaring back.

    How important will that final play of the half be as Leinster looked destined to score before Blair Murray sprinted away to reduce the deficit to just one point.

    Game on in Dublin.

    What an end to the half as Scarlets full-back Blair Murray scores.

    Leinster 15-7 Scarlets

    You sense Scarlets have to take every opportunity but with a line-out in Leinster's 22, they attempt an over-elaborate play and pay the price with Tom Rogers eventually giving away a penalty.

    It’s an unbelievable nudge from Prendergast.

    Leinster took the points and I think they just wanted to slow the game down a little bit.

    Scarlets are still right in this game.

    It’s just about taking a deep breath, get down to Leinster’s half, compose themselves and have another crack before half time.
