    Lewis

    Scarlets are singing in the fog!

    Out of keeping with what we've seen so far in this half, the visitors work the ball to the right flank and then kick back across the field where winger Tomi Lewis is waiting to score.

    Carwyn Leggat-Jones can't convert from out wide but the visitors are in front.

    Gareth Davies is now off the field for what appears treatment for blood.

    I'd be amazed if he was being replaced for tactical reasons.

    Anyway, come on you lot (if you can see your screens that is). Thumbs up for a Scarlets comeback win, and down if you think Benetton are holding on.

    Glasgow 28-5 Munster

    Glasgow are over again and again the TMO intervenes to rule it out.

    It's a real shame as it was one for the showreel of Seb Stephen. The young hooker collects the ball out wide and skips away from several Munster tacklers to go over.

    The officials picked up a knock-on from scrum-half Ben Afshar earlier in the move and the try will not stand.

    Benetton 13-10 Scarlets

    Gareth Davies is the latest to exploit the conditions with a clever kick that bounces into touch in the Benetton 22.

    Not it is the home side under pressure and Siua Maile must get his throw right here.

    He does, and Andy Uren clears.

    Benetton 13-10 Scarlets

    The referee is having discussions with both skippers here before restarting play.

    I imagine that went something like.....

    "Can you see the ball lads?"

    "Yes just about ref."

    "Ok, we will carry on."

    Benetton 13-10 Scarlets

    Both teams decide misty kicks are the way to go and we have a lengthy back-and-for with the boot.

    Carwyn Leggat-Jones eventually says enough is enough and clears towards halfway. From the lineout, Benetton flanker Alessandro Izekor then bursts down the blind side but is forced into touch.

    In this weather, 'blind side' could take on a whole new meaning actually.

    Glasgow think they have their fifth try as Angus Fraser goes over, but after the TMO has a look he is adjudged to have been held up.

    More great work from Jac Davies as the number 15 jackals and wins the penalty.

    A reminder, that if the match is abandoned after 60 minutes (not impossible the way the visibility is deteriorating here), the result stands.

    Benetton 13-10 Scarlets

    It's hard to describe how thick this fog is right now.

    Andy Uren launches a box kick that Jac Davies does well to just see, let alone catch.

    Expect more of that over the next 34 minutes.

    Davies try, Leggatt-Jones con

    Cometh the moment, cometh Gareth Davies again!

    After Eli Snyman spills the ball, the veteran scrum-half picks up from a ruck, ghosts through a gap and gets his side right back into it.

    For club and country, few have been better over the years for scoring big tries in big moments.

    Benetton 13-3 Scarlets

    You know what I said about the weather being better in Italy? Yeah, scrap that.

    Suddenly, mist and fog has descended on the Stadio Comunale di Monigo.

  13. Kick-offpublished at 20:42 GMT 30 January

    Benetton 13-3 Scarlets

    So Carwyn Leggat-Jones hoists the ball into the dark Treviso skies and away we go again.

    Incidentally, some may recognise the name Paolo Odogwu. The Benetton try scorer was born in Coventry, played for England under-20s and was named in Eddie Jones' 2021 Six Nations squad.

    He was never capped at senior level though and little over two years later, opted for Italy.

  14. Where both teams standpublished at 20:42 GMT 30 January

    HT: Benetton 13-3 Scarlets

    Given they are out of Europe, a surge up the table and a late tilt at the top-eight appears the main hope of Scarlets salvaging some positivity from this season.

    They can't surge too far tonight mind - given their points difference a bonus point win would only lift them two places to 13th - with both Dragons and Connacht playing later this weekend.

    Benetton meanwhile, lie 10th, but any kind of win here means Calum MacRae will wake up tomorrow with his team temporarily in the top half.

    Then of course, it's four weeks off for both teams.

    Billy McBryde last played for Scarlets in 2017

    RGC fly-half Billy McBryde began this week preparing for a Super Rugby Cup Pool A game against Cardiff, but he's likely to be flying back from Italy when that clash happens.

    Almost nine years since his last Scarlets appearance in the defunct Anglo-Welsh Cup, his shock loan move this week must even have taken him by surprise.

    Mind you, mainly thanks to dad Robin, Scarlets fans will have remembered the name.

  16. Half-time: Glasgow 28-5 Munsterpublished at 41 mins

    That try was the last act of the half and Glasgow go in 23 points to the good and with the bonus-point already wrapped up.

    They will play in to a strong breeze in the second half, but this would be one almighty comeback if Munster were to turn this around.

    It’s fair to say that it hasn’t been a thriller in Treviso between two sides hit by Six Nations call-ups.

    Benetton have dominated possession and territory, so Scarlets would have been content to be only 6-3 down approaching the half-time.

    That finish by Paolo Odogwu – who has been released by Italy for game time ahead of the Six Nations – changed the story.

    Fair play to Scarlets, they responded quickly but two big chances from driving line-outs were botched.

    Nigel Davies’ side are still in this but need to strike first after the break... and cut out the errors.

    Glasgow waste no time making their numerical advantage pay.

    They spin it wide and Josh McKay is allowed to glide in untouched.

    Lancaster converts and Glasgow are in firm control here.

  19. Scarlets struggling for a footholdpublished at 20:36 GMT 30 January

    That was a missed opportunity in the dying moments but in truth, a Scarlets try would have put a misleading slant on the score.

    The visitors are struggling to get hold of the ball and soaked up pressure for much of that first half. Andy Uren is orchestrating his forwards superbly and Scarlets simply ran out of defenders for that Paolo Odogwu try.

    Marnus van der Merwe is walking a tightrope too. As you'd expect with a South African international hooker, he's been combative but has been pinged two or three times now trying to force a turnover. Scarlets do not need any yellow cards if they are to force their way back into this.

    Thaakir Abrahams

    Glasgow look to work an opening down the short side but their attack is halted when Munster wing Thaakir Abrahams flies out the defensive line and knocks on.

    The ref deems it was deliberate and flashes the yellow card.
