Scarlets did really well to win tonight. Clermont will be kicking themselves but there you go. They were so much more powerful than the Scarlets and could have won comfortably despite being a man down.

Classy performance from Costelow again, Johnny Williams not far behind.

Macleod won a crucial penalty about 2 minutes before the end where he was well off his feet. Not sure about the kicking distance of Plisson, the replacement 10 for Clermont, but it was in the Scarlets half and could have lost the match as easily as closing it out.

Good luck Cardiff tomorrow, after a super performance last week.

It looks like Costelow is maturing, I thought that was a very good performance from him tonight. Johnny Wiiliams was also excellent.

However, they made heavy weather of beating a side a man short. Ioan Nicholas looked very weak. I also thought Shingler had a good game despite Wayne Barnes stopping him doing much at the breakdown.

Generally, the kicking out of hand was poor. Hardy seemed to be an improvement on Davies in this game.

He disrupted their lineout excellently.

It's going to be an interesting game v Glasgow, I don't feel overly confident about that one tbh, as you say Clermont should have won despite being down to 14.
