Winger Harri Millard also claimed a brace for the hosts who ultimately had to settle for a losing bonus point after failing to capitalise on their twoman advantage in the final quarter.

Scarlets coach Dwayne Peel said: "From a character perspective, I am really pleased. Defending your line with 13 men is pretty savage and the way we managed that period was excellent.
