🏉 Heartbreak for Scarlets in a nail-biting showdown in Edinburgh! Despite a heroic double from Wales star Joe Roberts, the Scarlets fell just short, losing 24-19 to Edinburgh.
🔴 The team showed great promise with Roberts scoring twice and Sam Lousi adding another. They were on the hunt for a vital win to rise up in the United Rugby Championship table. Early on, Tom Rogers, in dazzling form, made some impressive moves that kept fans on the edge of their seats!
🚀 After a quick start, Roberts’ breakaway try from a free-kick near halfway had fans dreaming of victory. Soon after, Lousi added to the tally, putting pressure on the Scottish side.
💥 But relentless Edinburgh struck back! Scrum-half Ben Vellacott narrowed the gap, and Magnus Bradbury’s power run brought the scores level. Vellacott’s second try made Scarlets fight back hard.
⚡️ With Scarlets down a player, they still showed grit and determination, creating a space for Roberts to nail his second try and equalise. However, once Edinburgh’s Harry Paterson returned from the sin-bin, he delivered the game-changing moment by charging down a kick to score, sealing Scarlets’ fate.
💔 Despite their best efforts, Scarlets couldn’t clinch that elusive fourth try for a win. Nonetheless, they took home a crucial losing bonus point on their journey back from Scotland.
