Scarlets kept their end-of-season play-off hopes alive with a 38-22 bonus-point win over Ospreys in a pulsating Welsh derby.

The victory did not look likely when they trailed 17-0 after only 14 minutes, but two yellow cards in quick succession heralded an Ospreys collapse as the visitors conceded 38 unanswered points.

Blair Murray, Vaea Fifita, Joe Roberts, Eddie James and Taine Plumtree scored Scarlets’ tries. There was also a penalty try award, with Ioan Lloyd adding three conversions.

    Wales are in desperate need of talent | RPTV

    Morgan Morris, Iestyn Hopkins and Dan Edwards crossed for Ospreys, with Edwards kicking two conversions and a penalty.

    Scarlets made an awful start, with two basic errors gifting their opponents a try within the first minute.

    Ellis Mee failed to collect the kick-off and, from the resulting line-out, Alex Craig lost possession in the in-goal area for Morris to dive on the ball and score.

    Edwards converted and added a penalty before Scarlets conceded a second try.

    Ospreys broke from inside their own half before Hopkins kicked ahead, with the full-back on hand to take advantage of Lloyd’s failure to sniff out the danger.

    Scarlets badly needed a boost and it came with a try from Murray after their pack had exerted their first period of pressure.

    Murray’s try was the catalyst for his side to dominate the second quarter and they turned the game on its head, with Ospreys having two players sin-binned and conceding two tries.

    George McGuigan was first to go for repeated team offences, with the visitors collapsing the driving line-out to result in a penalty try and a yellow card for Kieran Hardy.

    Fifita, on his 50th appearance for the region, soon added a second try to bring the scores level at 17-17 at the interval.

    Four minutes after the restart a flowing move saw Roberts put Scarlets in front for the first time before Ospreys returned to their full complement.

    It made no difference as the home side soon extended their lead when James took advantage of a favourable bounce from a well-judged cross-field kick from Lloyd.

    Scarlets sealed victory when a burst from Sam Lousi set up a chance for Plumtree before home skipper Josh Macleod picked up a late yellow card to allow Edwards to have the final say with a splendid individual try.

    REACH OUT TO TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY FOR A GREAT JOB

    WhatsApp +15617263697

    Fine wine and crypto do not always blend well, especially after a few drinks. I learned this the hard way after a record harvest at my vineyard. Swirling an old Cabernet under the stars, I was a financial connoisseur, my $720,000 Bitcoin wallet aging well for future returns. But the next morning, with a hangover as intense as my Merlion, I realized I'd forgotten my wallet password. Even worse, my recovery phrase, which I'd written down in my wine cellar notebook, had vanished. My eager new assistant had tidied up, mistaking my scribbled security notes for wine tasting spillage, and donated the entire book to the recycling gods. I dove into the garbage cans like a desperate sommelier searching for a quality grape but came up with broken dreams and soggy cardboard. Panic set in faster than cork taint. I faced the bitter truth: my digital fortune was bottled up tighter than a corked bottle with no opener. I sank into denial, questioning whether my future vineyard expansion would now be reduced to selling boxed wine. I panicked, pored over industry publications, and came across a wine industry newsletter that mentioned Tech Cyber Force Recovery. Their slogan, something playful about "decanting lost crypto," seemed like a sign from God. I contacted them, half-expecting snobbery or skepticism. What I received instead were tech wizards who tackled my case with humor and precision. Their team labored over my case like veteran sommeliers dissecting terroir. They painstakingly reconstructed transaction flows, timestamp records, and subtle wallet behavior. It was as if I was watching wine connoisseurs sniff out hints of blackcurrant and oak, but with algorithms and blockchain forensics. Each day, they provided updates with the finesse of tasting notes. “We’re detecting progress, notes of potential access, hints of password recovery on the finish.” Their creativity lightened my anxiety, and ten days later, they uncorked my digital vault. When I saw my Bitcoin balance restored, I nearly opened a bottle of my best vintage at 9 AM. My assistant and I shared a hearty laugh; he's still working for me, but now he labels my ledgers with "DO NOT TOUCH" in bold. My wine business is thriving thanks to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, and I have a new rule: passwords before Pinot. Cheers to their genius!

    No mention of the referee? He ruins every game he goes near. Shocking performance, and let’s hope it’s the last time we see him.
