**Connacht pulled off a historic first ever win at Parc y Scarlets by beating the Welsh region 29-23 on Saturday night.** It was the Irish province’s first victory at the ground in 12 attempts and it is more than 17 years since they last triumphed in Llanelli, with that win coming at the Scarlets’ former home, Stradey Park. Sam Arnold, Leva Fifita and John Porch scored tries for Connacht, while Jack Carty kicked four penalties and a conversion. Johnny Williams scored a try for the Scarlets, with Dan Jones kicking two penalties and a conversion. There was also a penalty try award and Rhys Patchell added a further three points from the tee. Jones kicked the Scarlets into an early lead with a straightforward penalty before Connacht suffered a further setback when number eight Paul Boyle departed for a HIA.
