A Jack Aungier try extended Connacht&#x27;s advantage and a penalty try secured the home side&#x27;s bonus point before Hansen notched his second try late on. Connacht move up to 13th spot in the table with the Scarlets now 14th.

Wales full-back Leigh Halfpenny was a late Scarlets withdrawal before kick-off because of a tight hamstring with meant that Johnny McNicholl switched to full-back with Corey Baldwin drafted on to the wing. Andy Friend&#x27;s side got off to a flying start with Connacht second-row Murray charging down a box kick and crashing over within 30 seconds.

Respective fly-halves Sam Costelow and Jack Carty, from distance, popped over penalties before McNicholl&#x27;s brilliant counter-attack set up Evans to dot down in the corner as the Scarlets drew level at 8-8. Carty and Costelow added to their respective sides&#x27; tally with successful penalties before the hosts capped off a spell of dominance towards the end of first-half with a well-worked move from the back of a scrum which allowed Hansen to apply the finish in the corner. Despite the loss of number eight Paul Boyle to a yellow card for an illegal dump tackle, Connacht increased their lead after the resumption as replacement prop Aungier burrowed over from close range, with Carty again off target with his conversion.

Replacement fly-half Rhys Patchell cut Connacht&#x27;s lead to 24-14 with a 60th-minute penalty, but this score was quickly cancelled out by David Hawkshaw&#x27;s kick before the penalty try conclusively put the game to bed after repeat infringements had led to the yellow carding of Sione Kalamafoni and Dan Thomas. Hansen capped off the scoring with a well taken try following a clever chip-kick from Carty, who once again missed the conversion in the tricky Galway conditions.
