    Penalty try

    Dragons put the pressure on with the driving line-out but then think they are over down the left through wing Rio Dyer.

    Gareth Davies comes in to knock the ball clear.

    The officials are asking whether the scrum-half is allowed to dive in on the wing as he looks to ground it... they deem that it's an illegal act.

    If Davies was on his feet that would be legal but he slid in to slap the ball out of Dyer's grasp.

    It's a seven-pointer for Dragons and a yellow card for the former Wales scrum-half.

    Try number seven for Leinster in Dublin, this time it's big lock Joe McCarthy.

    It's quickly followed by an eighth by Larmour.

    Worth noting that Scarlets' try came after an excellent kick to the corner by young fly-half Carwyn Leggatt-Jones.

    Niall Armstrong just did similar for Dragons but Scarlets deal with the throw and exit.

    It's a massive risk going over the top at a lineout. Taine Plumtree could see what was coming.

    Josh Macleod is there to pick up the scraps.

    Josh Macleod (Con: Joe Hawkins)

    Dragons change their entire front row ahead of a five-metre line-out and that puts Elliot Dee straight under pressure. A dangerous move and it backfires.

    Taine Plumtree reads his long throw and slaps it back for his captain Josh Macleod to gather and power over.

    Conversion added and it's suddenly a four-point game.

    Scarlets 14-25 Dragons

    Terrific defence by Dragons scrum-half Niall Armstrong, who rolls Josh Macleod as the flanker heads towards the line.

    Held up and a goalline drop-out.

    Scarlets 14-25 Dragons

    Huge burst by Jarrod Taylor from a flat pass on halfway and them a pair of penalties against Thomas Young and then Dillon Lewis.

    Scarlets really need to cut the gap with this territory and possession.

    They go for the corner as Wales great Gareth Davies is introduced at scrum-half along with teenager Carwyn Leggatt-Jones at 10.

    Scarlets 14-25 Dragons

    Scarlets kick to the 22 with a penalty but get nothing from the attack, with the slippery ball coming loose for flanker Thomas Young to slam towards halfway.

    Scarlets have to chase in testing conditions.

    Garry Ringrose (Con: Ciaran Frawley)

    Leinster profit from winning an aerial duel, with centre Garry Ringrose cantering over down the right wing.

    Will they put the foot down or clock off given they are hunting a double?

    The Dragons are in a pretty comfortable position now where they can add points and put real pressure on the Scarlets to chase this game.

    Angus O'Brien

    Poor start by Scarlets with full-back Ioan Jones dropping the kick-off and then Max Douglas giving a daft penalty away at the back of a line-out drive, slapping the ball away from scrum-half Niall Armstrong.

    Angus O'Brien punishes the Japan-bound lock.

    The last half of the season for Scarlets and Dragons, with Dragons full-back Angus O'Brien getting the game back under way.

    Can the visitors finish the job and leapfrog Nigel Davies' side into 14th?

    Five Dragons were named in Wales' squad for the summer on Monday, with hard-grafting back-row forward Harri Keddie getting a first call-up at the age of 29.

    Here is Wales head coach Steve Tandy explaining why.

    Discipline has cost the Scarlets and the Dragons have punished them.

    They're giving away penalties in their own half and that's giving opportunities to the Dragons.

  17. Half-time: Leinster 28-7 Ospreyspublished at 18:02 BST 16 May

    Leinster well on their way to securing second place in the URC behind Glasgow.

    Four tries for the Irish province, who would then have home advantage in the quarter-finals and semi-finals.

    It'd also give the URC a headache because there would be problems for a final venue if it is either Glasgow or Leinster with home advantage.

  18. Half-time: Scarlets 14-22 Dragonspublished at 18:00 BST 16 May

    A perfect start for Scarlets but it's the three-try Dragons that deservedly have the edge going into the break in Llanelli.

    They would climb above their hosts, who would finish as bottom Welsh side for only the second time.

    Forty minutes for Scarlets to avoid a repeat of 2010.

    There's no sense of panic from the Dragons, they just use that extra pass really well. It's Brodie Coghlan who frees Aaron Wainwright for a finish in the corner.

    A try for Dragons great Aaron Wainwright on his farewell before joining Leicester.

    Angus O'Brien sparks it with a break into the 22 and then, after good work by Niall Armstrong and Thomas Young, Aneurin Owen provides the scoring pass to the Wales number eight on the left wing.

    A 21st try in Dragons colours for the 28-year-old from Bassaleg.

    Angus O'Brien pulls his conversion and it remains an eight-point game.
