The hosts ran in six tries as they gained revenge in the second of back-to-back west Wales derbies, having been beaten 38-22 at Parc y Scarlets in the United Rugby Championship the previous weekend.

Ospreys had gone 17-0 up early on in that contest and again made another good start, with Adam Beard and Jac Morgan crossing in the opening few minutes.

    Dwayne Peel cannot get a big game right. He has failed on three occasions now to select and prepare a team for a must win game.

    Ospreys were always going to try and ‘bully’ the game with runners and a driving line-out. They played a perfect game from their point of view because Peel is unable to react under pressure and has taken his role as far as he can.

    Please, Scarlets board, search for a non-Scarlets background head coach and get a quality second row, 8 and outside half for next season.
