Scarlets stand firm to deny battling Glasgow

SCARLETS had to survive a fight-back from Glasgow Warriors to claim a narrow 18-14 win at a rain-soaked Parc Y Scarlets last night.

Rhys Priestland marked his 50th Magners League appearance by kicking all of the Scarlets’ points. It looked comfortable for them as they raced into a 15-0 lead, but Lou Reed’s yellow card allowed Glasgow in.

Duncan Weir raced home from 40 metres, before DTH van der Merwe added a second to bring them within a point, but Priestland sealed the Scarlets victory.
