Scarlets v Cardiff:
Quote:
Jamie Roberts bagged a brace as the Cardiff Blues produced five tries to beat the Scarlets 39-16 in Saturday evening's Welsh derby at Pairc y Scarlets.
Dai Young's side now have given themselves an outside chance of securing a play-off place with the away win, as Stephen Jones' decision to sign a new contract failing to lift the struggling Llanelli side.
Regan King got them off to a dream start, scoring an 11th minute penalty which Jones converted. Ben Blair kicked a penalty, before Roberts crossed for his first try at the end of the opening quarter, converted by the former All Black. A penalty and drop-goal from Jones edged the Scarlets ahead, but Deiniol Jones scored a try to put the Blues back in front.
Jones kicked an injury time penalty as the hosts led at the break, but they couldn't contain the Blues after the break as they failed to score. Tongan prop Tau Filise was first to score a try, before Roberts secured the bonus point and Richie Rees completed the job with a try.
