Scarlets 22-29 Harlequins. 11 Oct. 2008

The Scarlets opened the game with some free flowing rugby and scored two early tries. Morgan Stoddart was in very good attacking form. The home side played a fast game and created alot of opportunities and it was only Quins' last ditch defence that prevented more tries. The turning point of the game came late in the first half. Darren Daniel was speeding away on the wing and look set to score a good try but Mike Brown the Quins fullback produced an excellent cover tackle. This was just before half time and going in to the break the score was 19 - 3.
The second half saw a remarkable improvement from the visiting team. Led by the pack and the always busy scrum half Danny Care, Quins bounced back to score tries and take the lead. As the game wore on they never looked like losing. It was a great Quins' comeback but a worrying drop off in form for the Scarlets.

My man of the match: Danny Care.
