**Scarlets got their season up-and-running with their first win in three visits to Treviso, overcoming Benetton 10-3 in a low-quality affair at Stadio Monigo.** The home side – without 11 players in Italy’s 23 for their weekend Six Nations clash against Ireland – took a slender 3-0 lead into half-time thanks to the boot of Ian Keatley, but couldn’t add further points to their tally despite having chances. Scarlets were also without 11 regular squad members and struggled to make anything happen throughout the 80 minutes, but Angus O’Brien got them off the mark and played a big part in Paul Asquith’s second-half try. Morgan Jones was sent off late on for a high tackle, but Scarlets held firm to leave Benetton winless so far this campaign, and without victory at their home ground in any competition since December. # KEY MOMENTS Scarlets made encouraging territory in the game’s opening stages, but despite reducing the hosts to smatterings of possession, Glenn Delaney’s men were unable to force any real openings. Marc Jones limped off for the visitors on the six-minute mark, but replacement Taylor Davies contributed to an impressive turnover at the scrum as Scarlets successfully quelled the first instance of Benetton pressure.
