    Those early tries by Scarlets have really thrown this game wide open.

    This is the perfect start for Dwayne Peel and his team.

    James Hook
    Former Wales fly-half on BBC Radio Wales

    Really good work in the build up there from Ioan Lloyd; Alex Craig as well with some carries.

    Once they'd done that they'd shortened up the Cardiff defence they moved it to the right hand side and it was a walk-in for Taine Plumtree.

    Plumtree

    It's one-way traffic at the moment.

    Wow. Tom Rogers leaps like a ballerina to catch Callum Sheedy's penalty kick.

    The Scarlets wing lands with both feet just inside the touchline and offloads the ball before falling out of play.

    Sumptuous skills!

    BBC Sport at Parc Y Scarlets

    That all came from Cardiff being cute with their kick-off as Callum Sheedy shaped to kick to the right but at the last second, flicked the ball to Ben Thomas who kicked to the left.

    The idea was to find lock Teddy Williams with a miss-match. But it backfired in spectacular style.

    Page, con Costelow

    What a start for the Scarlets.

    Tom Rogers leaps like a salmon to take the kick-off, offloads to Macs Page who canters in for the opening score.

    Sam Costelow adds the extras.

  20. Scarlets v Cardiff (17:15 BST)

    Matt Lloyd
    BBC Sport at Parc Y Scarlets

    Absolutely perfect conditions here in west Wales so let's hope for plenty of action. This game usually has plenty of points.

    It's a tough one to call but interestingly, Cardiff have only won one of their last six against Scarlets.
