The referee blows the whistle for full time and Its the scarlets who come out on top in this LV Cup first round match. There wasn't much between the two teams but the experience of captain and Man of the Match Richard McCusker certainly played a big hand in the win. Scarlets will look to use this momentum when the face the much tougher task next weekend in form of Scaracens. Newport cant be too hard on themselves as they should a lot of resilience in defence and made good opportunities when they attacked from deep. However the home team just outclassed them with the extra experience being the key factor. Thanks for staying with us for the cover age of this game and make sure to catch the coverage of the all mouth watering autumn internationals we have in store for you over the weekend right here on Ultimate Rugby!!
