Scarlets secure first win of season against Glasgow

United Rugby Championship

Scarlets (13) 23

Tries: Macleod, Page Cons: Costelow 2 Pens: Costelow 3

Glasgow (0) 0

A depleted Scarlets earned their first win of the season against an out-of-sorts Glasgow in the United Rugby Championship (URC).

Returning captain Josh Macleod and Macs Page crossed, while Sam Costelow impressed with 13 points from the boot.

With so many players away on Wales duty, Dwayne Peel had to look to academy players to fill the void, and they looked every bit at home against the frustrated 2024 champions.

Scarlets bagged their first points of the campaign, but remain bottom of the table having played one fewer game than their closest rivals, while Glasgow drop to fifth.
