    Scarlets 14-17 Dragons

    Strong defence by Dragons in their 22 and Scarlets are denied the lead, with the loose ball hacked away.

    Scarlets are turned around and Taine Plumtree is forced into an agricultural clearance.

    Seven minutes to the break and it's gone scrappy.

    Huw Sutton (Con: Dan Edwards)

    Ospreys do get some reward for pressure in Dublin with lock Huw Sutton - one of their unsung heroes - going over after an initial break by wing Keelan Giles into the 22 and then a delightful offload by Rhys Davies.

    Scarlets 14-17 Dragons

    Not the Dragons' finest couple of moments.

    Aaron Wainwright gets tempted into kicking but his grubber is poor to allow Scarlets to clear, then Angus O'Brien takes a quick line-out but it's knocked on at the resulting breakdown.

    Scrappy stuff in testing conditions.

    Meanwhile, a spell of Ospreys pressure fails to earn any points and it remains 28-0 to Leinster in Dublin.

    Scarlets 14-17 Dragons

    Dane Blacker snipes against his former team-mates after a penalty is kicked to the 22 and Scarlets are five metres out.

    Josh Macleod with a huge carry, followed by Max Douglas, but prop Dillon Lewis gets his hands on the ball to win a penalty to clear.

    Scarlets failed to clean the Wales international out and pay the price.

    Scarlets 14-17 Dragons

    While Leinster run wild in Dublin it has gone a little scrappy in Llanelli.

    A few errors have crept into the game and it's settled down a bit, although there are still some huge hits going in as you would expect in a Welsh derby.

    Jimmy O'Brien (Con: Harry Byrne)

    Four for Leinster and it pretty much looks to be game over in Dublin.

    Jimmy O'Brien breaks free and then trades passes with Jamison Gibson-Park.

    Josh van der Flier (Con: Harry Byrne)

    Leinster are cruising to second place in Dublin and it's another forward on the scoresheet with flanker Josh van der Flier put over by Jack Conan.

    He canters over and Harry Byrne adds the extras.

    Scarlets 14-17 Dragons

    The ball comes out the back of Scarlets' scrum in the 22 and Niall Armstrong snaffles it.

    The forwards work to within a yard and hammer away before hooker Brodie Coghlan knocks the ball on going for the line.

    Two missed chances in quick succession for Filo Tiatia's side.

    Scarlets 14-17 Dragons

    Dragons get another chance to push for a try after Scarlets are pinged again - Jac Price slow to roll away - but this time they are denied in the 22.

    Tinus de Beer knocks the slippy ball on and an opportunity goes begging.

    Four tries and plenty of penalties in a chaotic first quarter.

    Taine Plumtree (Con: Joe Hawkins)

    Scarlets turn to win a penalty as Wyn Jones is deemed to have offended at a scrum on his old stomping ground.

    The hosts go for the corner and drive away, with Plumtree eventually sneaking over.

    Joe Hawkins judges the conditions perfectly for a second excellent conversion from the right and it's a three-point game.

    Mad start in the Llanelli rain!

    Scarlets started so well in those opening two minutes but now they're a team that have completely lost shape.

    Their discipline has been poor and they are presenting opportunities to the Dragons to play to their strengths.

    Brodie Coghlan, capped by Wales for the first time in the autumn, hits his man at the line-out and the hooker then guides the drive over.

    Dragons have been superb since that opening setback.

    Angus O'Brien converts to make it 17 unanswered points.

    Scarlets are making life very hard for themselves.

    Two more penalties and Dragons are going for a try from a driving line-out five metres out...

    Angus O'Brien

    Impressive response to the early setback by Dragons and Scarlets - who got on the wrong side of ref Ben Connor last week against Ospreys - are being hurt by indiscipline.

    The second of back-to-back penalties awarded by Ben Whitehouse gives Dragons a shot at goal and Angus O'Brien obliges from the tee.

    The Dragons' runners go at the Scarlets and see that their defence is a bit soft. They win every collision, starting with Aaron Wainwright.

    It was just pure power.

    Thomas Young (Con: Angus O'Brien)

    Huge carry by Aaron Wainwright and then full-back Angus O'Brien goes close.

    Scarlets try to hold him up over the line but he's just short and then flanker Thomas Young is on hand to dot down.

    Impressive response by the visitors and it's level-pegging after O'Brien's conversion.

    That's what Taine Plumtree can give you. He's such an athlete and can take those kind of chances.

    Wonderful skill down the right wing by number eight Taine Plumtree, who chips over the top, gathers and then acrobatically goes over.

    Try is given after a TMO review.

    That is a try of the season contender by the Wales forward.

    Joe Hawkins adds the extras from wide on the right.
