The Scarlets stayed in the hunt for the United Rugby Championship play-offs with a 38-19 bonus-point win over the Dragons at Rodney Parade.

Tries from Sam Lousi, Angus O’Brien (2), Ryan Elias, Rob Evans and Corey Baldwin, along with eight points from the boot of Rhys Patchell, were enough to get Dwayne Peel’s side over the line, gaining revenge for their defeat to the same opponents at Parc y Scarlets last weekend.

Jack Dixon, Jordan Williams, and Adam Warren claimed tries for the hosts, with Sam Davies kicking four points.

The Scarlets opened the scoring with a powerful driving line-out which ended with Lousi scoring a one-handed finish.

Peel’s side were full of confidence and were soon celebrating their second try when full-back O’Brien hit a tremendous angle to run in unopposed from 55 metres, with Patchell adding the extras.

The Dragons tried their best to get back into the game and were given some early hope when Scarlets wing Steff Evans got sent to the sin bin for intentionally knocking the ball forward on his 150th appearance.

Wales second-row Will Rowlands left the field with a shoulder injury and the Scarlets took full advantage, with Elias powering over from short range off the back of a well-worked driving line-out.

The hosts finally crossed the whitewash when impressive centre Dixon showed his strength to force his way over the line, with Davies converting to reduce the deficit to 17-7 at the interval.

The Dragons made a bright start to the second half, with an inside pass from Davies allowing Williams to jink in for the try.

The Scarlets had an opportunity to put the game to bed when Elias charged into the 22, but a tremendous tackle from Rio Dyer kept him out.

But the Scarlets hit straight back, with former Wales prop Evans forcing his way over the line after a period of sustained pressure.

The visitors put the result beyond doubt when a tremendous pass from Patchell put wing Corey Baldwin over in the right-hand corner, and O’Brien crossed for their final try at the death after being set up by Johnny Williams.

Watch Jesse Kriel get sat down as NRL convert scores 'worldie'

Last month, I faced a nightmare scenario when the entire balance of SOL I held in my MetaMask wallet was abruptly transferred to an unknown address. One moment, my funds were secure; the next, they’d vanished without a trace. I frantically reviewed my transaction history, double-checked permissions, and scanned my devices for malware, but found no obvious breach. Panic turned to despair as I realized my savings accumulated through years of cautious investing were gone. Desperate for answers, I contacted MetaMask support, only to be told that their team couldn’t reverse or trace decentralized transactions. They speculated that my wallet had been compromised, possibly via a phishing scam, a malicious dApp, or a leaked recovery phrase, but I couldn’t pinpoint where I’d gone wrong. Feeling helpless, I combed through Reddit threads and crypto forums, where I stumbled upon TRUST GEEKS HACK EXPERT Website https://trustgeekshackexpert.com/ , a service hailed for its success in reclaiming stolen assets. Though skeptical after all, everything I’d read suggested crypto theft was irreversible I decided to take a leap of faith and submitted my case details, including transaction IDs and wallet addresses. Their team responded within hours, outlining a meticulous plan to trace the stolen SOL across the blockchain and collaborate with exchanges to intercept the funds. Over the next week, TRUST GEEKS HACK EXPERT provided daily updates, revealing how the thief had funneled my SOL through a labyrinth of wallets to obscure its trail. Using advanced blockchain forensics, they identified patterns linking the movement of funds to a known exchange. By working with legal teams and platform security, they flagged the stolen crypto before it could be liquidated. Their expertise and determination were evident as they navigated the complexities of the blockchain, piecing together the puzzle of my stolen assets. Against all odds, their relentless efforts paid off: within 9 days, they recovered 100% of my stolen SOL and safely redirected it to a new, fortified wallet. This experience taught me the importance of vigilance in the crypto space and the value of seeking help from experts when faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges. I learned that while the decentralized nature of cryptocurrency offers many advantages, it also comes with risks that require constant awareness and proactive measures.

Crusaders prepare for 'dangerous in all elements' Chiefs game-breaker

CALL OR VISIT TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY ON WhatsApp    +15617263697   Or  Telegram  +15617263697  Several weeks ago, my life was irrevocably altered by a crypto romance scam, a cruel amalgamation of emotional manipulation and financial exploitation. A person I believed to be my partner, whom I had met on a niche trading forum, gradually ensnared me into investing in a purportedly “groundbreaking” decentralized finance (DeFi) project. Over several months, they meticulously cultivated trust, shared fabricated returns, and even orchestrated video calls with supposed “developers” to lend credence to the scheme. By the time I discerned the truth, a staggering $215,000 of my life savings had evaporated into a labyrinth of blockchain addresses, and the individual I thought I knew had vanished without a trace. The betrayal was paralyzing; I felt not only financially devastated but emotionally shattered. As a small business owner, I am no stranger to risk, but this was a domain far beyond my comprehension. I promptly filed reports with the FTC, collaborated with cybersecurity experts, and spent countless sleepless nights poring over Etherscan, desperately attempting to trace the transactions. However, the scammers’ adept use of privacy coins and offshore exchanges rendered the trail elusive, dissipating like smoke. Each dead end deepened my despair and sense of helplessness. Amid this turmoil, I confided in a family friend about my harrowing ordeal. After hearing my story, he referred me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. Initially skeptical but driven by desperation, I visited their website and was struck by their no-nonsense commitment to transparency. Unlike other firms that promised miraculous recoveries, Tech Cyber Force Recovery provided a clear breakdown of their process: forensics, collaboration with international legal networks, and direct engagement with exchanges to freeze illicit funds. When I contacted Tech Cyber Force Recovery, their team approached my case faster. They meticulously analyzed my situation, keeping me informed at every stage of the recovery process. Ultimately, they succeeded in recovering my entire investment, restoring my financial stability, and rekindling my faith in the possibility of justice in the digital age. This experience has imparted invaluable lessons about vigilance and the importance of seeking help when navigating the dangerous currents of cryptocurrency. Tech Cyber Force Recovery has proven to be a beacon of hope for those ensnared in the web of crypto fraud, demonstrating that recovery is indeed possible with the right support and expertise.
