	icWales - Llanelli Scarlets 20-19 Toulouse
		Scarlets skipper Simon Easterby’s converted 52nd-minute try proved the decisive act of a gripping tussle that saw Toulouse wipe out an early 13-0 deficit to lead by six points before the Ireland flanker struck.
		Llanelli made a blistering start and were ahead inside three minutes after some brilliant attacking play that twice involved prop Iestyn Thomas stretched the Toulouse defence in all directions.
		Llanelli just had to cling on, but they regained the lead when Heineken Cup record try poacher James blasted through weak midfield tackling and set up a platform from which Easterby prospered, courtesy of back-row colleague Alix Popham’s pass.

	Llanelli RFC - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Llanelli RFC were supposedly founded in 1872 (and celebrated their centenary in 1972) however there is no record of any matches played by the side until 5th February 1876, four years later against Swansea.
		Llanelli RFC along with the other Welsh clubs were replaced in the Celtic League by the regions but continued to play in the Welsh Premier Division and Welsh Cup.
		When Llanelli RFC played Bath, it was tradition that a rag doll be put on top of the posts which the winning team would then keep until their next encounter.

		Llanelli Scarlets' early season problems continued as Connacht stunned Stradey Park for the second successive season with a shock victory.
		Llanelli had their chances, notably in the first half, but a fourth Celtic League defeat is hardly what director of rugby Gareth Jenkins would have wanted in their final match before the arrival of Toulouse for the start of the Heineken Cup.
		Llanelli did hit back with a second penalty from Bowen on the stroke of half-time, but the champions knew they were in a battle.

		However the Llanelli Scarlets pack upped their game and Matthew Watkins got their opening try after half an hour to retake the lead — but it was short lived with an O'Gara's penalty putting Munster 10-8 ahead.
		However the Scarlets turned round in front as Andrew Powell's try a minute later, followed by Bowen’s conversion made it 15-10 to the home side.

		Gaining territory was a different matter for the Scarlets, who were forced to keep the ball in hand using the bulk of John Davies, Andy Powell and Salesi Finau to exert pressure.
		Resolute Glasgow turned the tables on the Scarlets minutes before the interval when it seemed that the home side were bound to score; instead, Sean Lamont intercepted on his own goal-line and sprinted the full length of the pitch to score at the posts, Parks converting to extend the visitors’ advantage.
		The Scarlets were grateful for the first-half stoppage time as they eventually worked second-row Chris Wyatt over for a try that brought them to within 10 points of a creative Glasgow team.

		The Scarlets seem to lose it a bit now- a restart that doesn’t go ten metres, a forward pass when they seem to have a bit of space and the first half rather peters out.
		Llanelli start the second half quite brightly, winning a penalty on the Sale 22, which they fail to kick.
		We keep the pressure on and drive from a lineout on the Llanelli 10 metre line, then work the ball to Jason who slides through the smallest of gaps between two defenders, wrong-foots the last man and goes round him on the outside.

	Rugby union: Heineken Cup: Llanelli Scarlets 20 - 19 Toulouse \| Rugby union \| Guardian Unlimited Sport
		After Toulouse had forged ahead in the second half, he wasted an opportunity to take the game away from the Scarlets and secure his side a try bonus, when he dithered with a two-man overlap five yards out and eventually threw a pass which was easily picked off.
		The 29-year old had a final chance for redemption in the dying seconds, when the Toulouse forwards worked their way into the Scarlets' 22 and gave Du Toit the chance to drop the winning goal from in front of the posts, but his kick was charged down by Simon Easterby.
		Toulouse have won only one match in their last eight away from home, but the way they fought back from an early 13-point deficit, having looked disinterested in the opening quarter, suggested that their engine problems would be resolved by a change of spark plugs.

		Llanelli drew level with a penalty from fly half Ceiron Thomas after a midfield offside, but were thwarted by a lightning turnover from Ben Woods on the Newcastle 22 as they made a rare foray in to Newcastle territory early on.
		The last action of the half was a positive one for the Falcons, determined to come away with points from their visits to the Scarlets 22, Flood cleverly slotting in to the pocket to nudge over a canny drop goal for a 13-6 interval lead.
		The hosts were forced in to some panic defence as an expansive Llanelli side stayed true to their values and broke 80 metres down the left wing, Rudd blazing a trail from the opposite side of the field to hack the loose ball clear at the vital moment.

		Llanelli Scarlets bagged a bonus point inside 23 minutes at Stradey Park last night and without too many problems made it four victories in five starts this season to top the Magners League table.
		And despite conceding a position of absolute strength late in the game, for ambitious director of coaching Phil Davies, it was the manner in which his rejuvenated Scarlets performed that was the most pleasing aspect of this, their fourth league sucess of the campaign.
		The suggestion, as wild as it might seem, that the region is in danger of being wound up by Christmas due to the uncertainty over their planned move away from Stradey Park, has worked wonders in terms of galvanising matters on the field.
