Big win for the Scarlets

The Scarlets gave their fans a reason to smile after recording an emphatic five-try victory over Leicester Tigers in the LV=Cup.

Just two seasons ago No.8 Kieran Murphy was playing for Mumbles but he made an instant impact on his Scarlets debut with a pair of tries after George Ford booted the visitors into the lead.

That gave Nigel Davies’ men a 12-3 lead and they went into the interval with a 14-point advantage after fellow debutant Matt Gilbert crashed into the corner.

They carried their fine form in the second half with former Wales Under20 international Liam Williams racing clearing for a superb try.

Adam Warren, who scored two tries against Edinburgh last week, ran an inside decoy off replacement fly-half Jordan Williams to open the floodgates for Williams to burst clear.

Williams converted the effort before he capped a fine performance with a last-minute length of the pitch try.

Following a sustained period of pressure the Scarlets kicked-through and beat the cover to hack on and then regain the ball on the bounce to squeeze in the corner.
