LEINSTER LIE IN WAIT FOR PLACE IN SEMIS

THE Scarlets will take on United Rugby Championship table-toppers Leinster in the play-offs after losing to the Sharks in Durban.

- 

Dwayne Peel's side had already secured their place in the top eight going into their final match, with results on Friday night ensuring they would make the play-offs for the first time since 2018.

However, who they would face in the play-offs depended upon their result in Durban.

A losing bonus point would have seen them travel to Pretoria to take on the Bulls.

In the end, failure to pick up any points in South Africa ensured they finished in eighth and take on Leinster in Dublin.

In a low-scoring affair in Durban, scoring chances were few.
