Llanelli Scarlets 53 Border Reivers 11

The Scarlets ran in nine tries to notch their highest score in the Magners League this season as they beat the Borders 53-11 to keep alive their title-winning hopes. Matthew Rees led the way with a brace of tries against a hapless Borders side and there was a third from the home hooking spot when U20 cap Ken Owens scored a try of his own.

Dafydd James was the back line catalyst as he notched another try a week after spearheading the march into the Heineken Cup semi-finals with a vital try against Munster. He was voted man of the match.

Stephen Jones helped himself to 13 points with a try and four conversions and it was another useful workout for the Welsh region before their European semi-final shoot-out with Leicester Tigers at the Walkers Stadium in two weeks time.


This was a tenth successive loss by the Borders against the Scarlets and their only consolation was a try near the end from industrious lock John Daziel.
