THE Scarlets scored five tries to secure Magners League victory over Welsh regional rivals the Dragons at Stradey Park.

EDINBURGH’S dream of bringing the Magners League title to Scotland for the first time was clinically demolished by the streetwise Ospreys at Murrayfield.

ALLY HOGG came through 80 minutes unscathed ahead of next weekend’s RBS 6 Nations opener with England as Edinburgh came out on top against Connacht, with Duncan Hodge making up for an early error with a fine kicking performance.

FIRED-UP Edinburgh kept in touch at the top of the Magners League with a comfortable win over basement Borders at blustery Murrayfield.
