Scarlets 23 Leinster 21Scarlets held on to win an intense, hard-fought Pro14 clash against champions Leinster at Parc y Scarlets. Scarlets were indebted to tries from Ken Owens and Gareth Davies, while Halfpenny kicked 13 points. It was the first time the two sides had met since Scarlets lost to Leinster in last season’s grand final. Scarlets were boosted by the inclusion of Wales quartet Halfpenny, Jake Ball, Samson Lee and Hadleigh Parkes. Scarlets did edge back into the lead from a Halfpenny penalty in front of the posts after a Ruddock high tackle on Blake Thomson.
