Scarlet s 23 Connacht 24 CONNACHT ’S REVIVAL GATHERED pace as they hung tough at Parc y Scarlet s to win a thriller by a single point thanks to a 78th-minute penalty by Cathal Forde.
The Scarlets had done the same the previous weekend in their home defeat to Cardiff and head coach Dwayne Peel would have been horrified by how his side conceded the opening score in only the second minute. Advertisement From a scrum on the home 22 wide out on the left they trucked it up in the middle and then Carty kicked into the wide open spaces for Hansen to race onto the inch-perfect kick to pick up on the line and score. Carty added the extras.
He sprinted out of the 22, linked with Paul Boyle who then handed Ben Murphy a simple run to the posts for his third try of the season. Carty’s conversion made it 21-14 to Connacht at the break.
