Cathal Forde's 78th minute penalty gives Connacht a thrilling 24-23 United Rugby Championship victory against Scarlets in Llanelli.
Centre Cathal Forde kicked a 78th minute penalty to give Connacht a thrilling United Rugby Championship 24-23 victory against Scarlets in LlanelliWales fly-half Sam Costelow appeared to have given Scarlets a much-needed victory with a late penalty of his own before Forde's even later intervention, which lifted the Irish side to second in the table.
Nicholas produced an early clanger when he threw a wayward ball straight into the hands of O'Conor who scored with Carty converting. Connacht made their numerical advantage tell with an easy second score as the visitors created the space for Carty to produce a clever kick for a walk-in for wing Hansen.
Centres Johnny Williams and Eddie James then combined expertly to send the supporting Davies over for his second try to level the scores as Scarlets scored 14 points with Connacht down to 14 men.
