Connacht’s brave effort falls short at Scarlets
Wayne Pivac’s side took the bonus-point victory by virtue of a fifth try, but not before Connacht had thrown everything at the champions.
Although the visitors collected only one bonus point for their effort, it was the performance Kieran Keane had demanded. In a festival of try-scoring in the opening half, the champions led 26-22, having opened with the first try after eight minutes through Johnny McNicholl. Connacht hit back through Jack Carty who added the conversion.
