FLANKER Jac Morgan marked his return from a knee injury with a man-of-the-match display as Scarlets returned to winning ways with a six-try 41-17 triumph over Benetton at Parc y Scarlets. The 21-year-old from Brynamman, a former Amman United youth player, crossed for two tries in a dominant first-half performance, as Scarlets made a welcome return to winning ways. Scarlets had the try bonus point in the bag before half-time with half-backs Sam Costelow and Dane Blacker also crossing the whitewash, but Benetton did show some fight after the break. Late tries by Sione Kalamafoni and replacement Paul Asquith, however, completed the Italian Job, with this welcome Pro 14 win keeping European Champions Cup qualification hopes alive.

THE PRO14 HAS just got interesting. That wasn’t a joke by the way.
From now until 19 March, every point in Conference A counts. Leinster, seemingly unstoppable, serial collectors of bonus-point victories, may have fate in their own hands but that won’t mean diddly-squat if they don’t take advantage of it.
