The Scarlets and Dragons finished their season with an entertaining 35-35 draw in Llanelli<\/a>.<\/p>\n Here’s how the players rated…<\/p>\n Scarlets<\/p>\n 15. Ioan Jones: 5<\/p>\n Second start of the season, Just a little loose at times.<\/p>\n 14. Tom Rogers: 6<\/p>\n Final outing for the Scarlets. Threw himself into everything as always, but little really went his way.<\/p>\n 13. Macs Page: 7<\/p>\n Another busy performance, if a little messy at times. But deserved his try.<\/p>\n 12. Joe Roberts: 6<\/p>\n Carried hard at 12, while he got through a big shift defensively. Popped up with a couple of turnovers, too.<\/p>\n 11. Blair Murray: 6<\/p>\n Perhaps not the occasion for him, but showed some moments of quality in tough conditions.<\/p>\n 10. Joe Hawkins: 6<\/p>\n Will rue the two missed kicks at goal, but solid enough from the fly-half otherwise.<\/p>\n 9. Dane Blacker: 6<\/p>\n Looked lively around the fringes at times, while his kicking caused the Dragons some problems.<\/p>\n 1. Josh Morse: 6<\/p>\n Last week’s cameo showed how good he is around the park. Scrum went relatively well, while he got through a load of work on both sides of the ball.<\/p>\n 2. Ryan Elias: 6<\/p>\n Typically involved in everything on both sides of the ball.<\/p>\n 3. Archer Holz: 6<\/p>\n Will be happy with how the scrum went against former Scarlet Wyn Jones.<\/p>\n 4. Jac Price: 6<\/p>\n Decent enough shift without doing a great deal – although there were a couple of big hits.<\/p>\n 5. Max Douglas: 7<\/p>\n The lock signed off his Scarlets career with a typically busy, if a little ill-disciplined, performance. Perhaps lucky not to receive a yellow.<\/p>\n 6. Jarrod Taylor: 8<\/p>\n Scarlets’ most frequent carrier, while he made a heap of tackles. Sometimes pushes the envelope a little – which doesn’t always help in a team penalised as frequently as the Scarlets – but there’s a nice edge to him.<\/p>\n 7. Josh Macleod: 8<\/p>\n Very busy throughout, making 18 tackles. Didn’t always get the decisions he’d like at the breakdown, but came up with some big interventions late on.<\/p>\n 8. Taine Plumtree: 9<\/p>\n The Scarlets<\/a> were without the talismanic Fletcher Anderson for the first time since he arrived from New Zealand, but Plumtree filled in well. That finish in the opening minutes was remarkable.<\/p>\n Ended up being involved in all five of the Scarlets tries, with his efforts to set up scores for his fellow back-rows showing how he can bend the game to his will when he’s on it.<\/p>\n Replacements<\/p>\n 16. Harry Thomas: 5<\/p>\n Little time to make an impact in the final five minutes, but chucked himself about.<\/p>\n 17. Sam O’Connor: 6<\/p>\n Got through some carries after coming on.<\/p>\n 18. Harri O’Connor: 6<\/p>\n Scrum continued to be strong after his introduction.<\/p>\n 19. Dan Davis: 6<\/p>\n On for the final 20 minutes, with some solid work either side of the ball.<\/p>\n 20. Osian Williams: N\/A<\/p>\n Didn’t make it on.<\/p>\n 21. Gareth Davies: 6<\/p>\n Not the way he’d have wanted to celebrate a new deal, with a yellow card.<\/p>\n 22. Carwyn Leggatt-Jones: 6<\/p>\n Few nervy moments, plus the yellow card, but picked himself up well to set up Page’s score.<\/p>\n 23. Jac Davies: 5<\/p>\n On for the final few minutes. Little time to make his mark.<\/p>\n Dragons<\/p>\n 15. Angus O’Brien: 6<\/p>\n Doesn’t always pick the right option. But the full-back has one hell of a boot on him. His break set up Wainwright’s score.<\/p>\n 14. David Richards: 6<\/p>\n Solid outing from the wing – capping a fine season that has seen him go from the office back to professional rugby.<\/p>\n 13. Fine Inisi: 6<\/p>\n Didn’t get involved as he might have, but made an impact when he did carry.<\/p>\n 12. Aneurin Owen: 7<\/p>\n The glue of the Dragons’ midfield was heavily involved as you’d expect.<\/p>\n 11. Rio Dyer: 7<\/p>\n Strong work in the air at times for the wing. Lovely work in the build-up for the penalty try – showing Wales what they are missing.<\/p>\n 10. Tinus de Beer: 6<\/p>\n Can be a little messy in his execution, but his tactical kicking was good and he’s tough as teak defensively.<\/p>\n 9. Niall Armstrong: 6<\/p>\n Did well to hold up Josh Macleod over his own line, while there were some smart kicks from the departing scrum-half.<\/p>\n 1. Wyn Jones: 6<\/p>\n Scrum didn’t always go his way, but got through a lot around the park.<\/p>\n 2. Brodie Coghlan: 7<\/p>\n Missed out on Wales selection on Monday, but fronted up well here – crossing for the Scarlets’ second.<\/p>\n 3. Dillon Lewis: 6<\/p>\n Days after a Wales recall, this was a decent enough performance by the tighthead. Some good carries and one crucial breakdown penalty near his own line.<\/p>\n Discipline went missing a little in the second-half before he was replaced.<\/p>\n 4. Seb Davies: 6<\/p>\n Got through a number of tackles and was the Dragons’ main lineout target.<\/p>\n 5. Ben Carter: 7<\/p>\n Big shift in defence from the Wales second-row.<\/p>\n 6. Ryan Woodman: 6<\/p>\n Decent defensive shift, while he was a solid lineout option.<\/p>\n 7. Thomas Young: 8<\/p>\n Same old, same old from Thomas Young. Plenty of work, some lovely touches and the odd breakdown turnover.<\/p>\n 8. Aaron Wainwright: 8<\/p>\n As fine a servant as any club could wish for, Wainwright has carried the Dragons through some dark days. On his final appearance, he was typically at the heart of everything.<\/p>\n Led the way in carries, including a hefty one in the build-up to their first try, and deservedly crossed for a score.<\/p>\n Replacements<\/p>\n 16. Elliot Dee: 6<\/p>\n First lineout was picked off by Plumtree for Macleod’s score. Willing carrier throughout, though.<\/p>\n 17. Rhodri Jones: 5<\/p>\n Couldn’t stop the Scarlets scrum being on top late on.<\/p>\n 18. Chris Coleman: 5<\/p>\n Had a tough time at the scrum when coming on.<\/p>\n 19. Levi Douglas: N\/A<\/p>\n Didn’t get on.<\/p>\n 20. Harrison Keddie: 6<\/p>\n The new Wales call-up didn’t make as much of an impact as he might have liked, but still threw himself into contact when asked.<\/p>\n 21. Rhodri Williams: 5<\/p>\n Didn’t really bring as much control as you’d hope, with some loose passes.<\/p>\n 22. Harri Ackerman: N\/A<\/p>\n Didn’t get on.<\/p>\n 23. Huw Anderson: N\/A<\/p>\n Didn’t see any action.<\/p>\n Follow all of our channels to ensure you stay up to date with the latest Welsh rugby news.
