Scarlets v Stormers live updates (WalesOnline)

Scarlets: Tom Rogers; Liam Williams, Jonathan Davies (capt), Johnny Williams, Ryan Conbeer; Sam Costelow, Gareth Davies; Steff Thomas, Shaun Evans, Javan ...

On the reset, Stefan Ungerer loses concentration and spills it himself as he looks to snipe from the base. They go from touchline to touchline with forwards throwing miss passes and Shingler nearly getting down the blindside after a deft flick from Jonathan Davies. But the Stormers infringe at the lineout and the Scarlets can clear. Trademark Liam Williams there, getting over the ball in the wide channels. The match kicks off at 5.10pm and you can follow it below in our live blog below. Stormers infringe at the breakdown and we have the first penalty of the day. He rounds Tom Rogers and the Stormers are on the board. Stormers stick the kick-off out on the full. Scarlets piling the pressure on here, with the Stormers stuck in their own half a little. Stormers lineout goes awry and the Scarlets nip in to steal it. Stormers go for the lineout and get the drive on. Stormers get the penalty from the scrum to rub salt into the wounds.

Nel double gives Stormers home playoff (SARugbymag)

Ruhan Nel scored a brace of tries to help the Stormers claim a late bonus-point win over the Scarlets in Llanelli on Saturday and secure a home Vodacom ...

The outside centre had an influential performance on attack and defence, which included a vital tackle to force a knock-on when Scarlets threatened to snatch the game late on. The Irish derby will decide whether the Stormers finish second or third on the table. Warrick Gelant was equally influential as he was typically at the heart of the Stormers attack, while he did excellently to intercept a pass when the Scarlets were on the attack just outside the Stormers 22.

A last-minute try from Ruhan Nel gave the Stormers a win over Scarlets in Llanelli on Saturday night that secures them the South African Shield.

Scarlets found their groove, buoyed on by their home support, and the Stormers defence finally caved when Ryan Conbeer went over in the right corner. As the match progressed, the Stormers began to get stronger in all departments, and it seemed to be a matter of time before the Scarlets resistance caved. Libbok slotted the conversion, and the Stormers were 21-16 up and ahead for the first time in the contest.

Stuttering Connacht sign off with a win against Zebre (RTE.ie)

Indeed, Zebre finished the first half with a well-worked five-pointer from the pacy Pani, who handed off Tom Farrell to score. The hosts doubled their tally on the quarter-hour mark, Cian Prendergast beating a defender and laying off for lock Murray to go over in the left corner. Connacht’s Tom Daly broke through the middle in response and, with Zebre caught for numbers on the left, Marmion reached over from a sixth-minute ruck.

Nocera made a big impact after replacing Eduardo Bello in the Zebre front-row and he powered over the Connacht line to offer his troops renewed hope with 13 minutes remaining. In the direct aftermath of this score, scrum-half Colm Reilly was the first Connacht player to be introduced off the bench. While Carty was wide of the mark off a tricky conversion attempt on the left-wing, Connacht had their tails up and subsequently doubled their lead in the 17th-minute. Carty finally opened his account from his third effort at goal and while there was still a lot of rugby left to play, Connacht already looked set for a comfortable victory. Connacht rode this late storm to make it nine wins from 18 in the inaugural URC, but it was a far from vintage display overall by Andy Friend’s charges. Along with replacements Ultan Dillane, Abraham Papali’I and Sammy Arnold, Masterson was making his final appearance for Connacht, but the visitors did their utmost to spoil the party for this quartet.

United Rugby Championship: Scarlets 21 - Stormers 26 (The National Wales)

A LATE Ruhan Nel try saw the Scarlets miss out on Heineken Champions Cup qualification as they were beaten 26-21 by the Stormers in Llanelli.

The Scarlets kept applying pressure and Conbeer went over for an excellent try. Fourie soon found himself in the sin bin after he received a yellow card for a high tackle on Kieran Hardy. Manie Libbok kicked six points for the visitors. The Scarlets had their opportunities, but Nel ghosted his way over the line at the death to win the game for the Stormers. A stolen line-out from Aaron Shingler and a turnover from Liam Williams seemed to keep the South African side at bay, but impressive number eight Roos finally broke the Scarlets defence as he powered over from close range. Neither of the four Welsh sides entered the final weekend of the regular season able to reach the play-offs but Nel's brace, with Leolin Zas and Evan Roos also touching down for the Stormers, booked the South Africans a home quarter-final.
