Scarlets played with a ferocious tempo away from home and Bath were simply unable to live with them. The visitors flew out of the blocks with an early score from Tadhg Beirne inside 10 minutes. Bath looked to respond and looked sure to score with cynical play from John Barclay at the breakdown halted momentum and he was forced to spend 10 minutes in the sin bin. Bath took three points but quickfire tries from Asquith and Parkes meant resulted in Scarlets winning the sin-bin period 14-3. Scott Williams' score on the 50-minute mark settled the game for Scarlets and Bath only began to play after this point. Matt Banahan was able to score with an incredible finish from a Freddie Burns crosskick while Zach Mercer also crossed the whitewash with 5 minutes from the finish. Too little too late from the hosts and Scarlets fully deserved their 17-35 win.
