What a match! The Scarlets managed to snatch a 20-20 draw against Benetton in what can only be described as a thriller shrouded in fog. Played in Italy, the game became a nail-biter towards the end, with Benetton’s Nicolas Roger Farias missing a crucial last-minute penalty that could’ve swung the victory their way. The thick fog that settled over Treviso made for an almost cinematic, albeit hard-to-watch, second half.
Leading up to the dramatic conclusion, Macs Page scored to even things out, but a missed conversion kept the result in suspense. Before that, an exciting back-and-forth saw both Gareth Davies and Tomi Lewis land tries for the Scarlets, keeping fans on the edge of their seats.
Interestingly, this is the second time these teams have finished 20-20 in this fixture. Scarlets star Fletcher Anderson remarked on the challenging conditions and admitted, “We let ourselves down with inaccuracies, but there’s positive change happening. It’s all part of the journey.”
The Scarlets might have missed out on a win, but they’ve certainly shown grit and determination. Stay tuned for more rugby excitement as they strive for greater precision and consistency in the coming weeks! 🏉🌫️
