Scarlets had three players sin-binned, but held on to claim only their second league victory this season in a game in which Cardiff dominated territory and possession.<\/p>\n
Centre Eddie James crossed to give Scarlets the lead with Joe Hawkins adding the conversion.<\/p>\n
Cardiff hit back to level through a try from Mason Grady after both Josh Macleod and Davies had been shown yellow cards.<\/p>\n
Callum Sheedy nudged Cardiff ahead with a penalty just before the break, but Gareth Davies crossed twice, either side of a second try for the home side by Josh Adams.<\/p>\n
Johnny Williams became the third Scarlets player to be yellow-carded with an hour gone, but high-flying Cardiff could not find a response.<\/p>\n
“It wasn’t great for the nerves,” said Peel.<\/p>\n
“Three yellow cards put us in a difficult position, but we fought hard. <\/p>\n
“We took our opportunities when they came and I thought we fought splendidly well for each other. It was a great win.”<\/p>\n
Former Wales scrum-half Davies, 35, scored two tries at the Arms Park for a third successive season. <\/p>\n
“I can’t speak highly enough about him because he’s the ultimate professional and keeps himself in great shape,” said Peel.<\/p>\n
“He said to me before the game he fancied another double so he backed that up.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Scarlets had three players sin-binned, but held on to claim only their second league victory this season in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":360419,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[567],"tags":[64,63,760,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-360418","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-rugby","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-rugby","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/360418","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=360418"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/360418\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/360419"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=360418"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=360418"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=360418"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
