Scarlets 16 Blues 39

Jamie Roberts scored two tries as the Blues confirmed their place in the Heineken Cup next season with a convincing Magners League derby win over the Scarlets.

The home side, who leaked 24 unanswered points in the second half, will now have to hope the Blues win the Amlin Challenge Cup in order to gain a back-door entry into Europe’s premier club competition.

Second-half tries from Taufa’au Filise, Roberts and Richie Rees killed off the Scarlets in emphatic fashion.
