Costelow penalty gives Scarlets first league win of the season

Scarlets beat Italian side Benetton to claim their first league win of the season.

The teams had both started the campaign without a victory, with Scarlets losing their first two matches and Benetton drawing one and losing one.

Scarlets trailed by 14 points at half-time, but improved after bringing on replacements in the second half.

They scored three tries after the break, including a bonus-point try finished by Tomás Mee.

Benetton regained the lead, but a late penalty from Sam Costelow put Scarlets ahead.

Scarlets held on for a much-needed win.

They begin their Challenge Cup campaign against Newcastle next weekend, then have a two-match URC trip to South Africa later this month.
