**Scarlets played 36 minutes of the second half with 14 men but still managed to beat Cardiff 35-20 in the United Rugby Championship.** A brace of tries from Johnny McNicholl along with scores from Sam Costelow and Sione Kalamafoni, who was later red-carded, earned the Scarlets victory. Josh Adams and James Botham scored Cardiff’s tries. Jarrod Evans and Costelow exchanged early penalties but it was Cardiff who claimed the game’s first try.
