Scarlets skipper Josh Macleod insists there is more to come from his team following their dramatic victory over the Vodacom Bulls.
The Scarlets came from 19-7 down to consign the visitors from Pretoria to their first league defeat of the season. Macleod opening his side’s account with a first-half try, while wingers Blair Murray and Tom Rogers crossed for superb solo tries to complete the comeback.
Rogers’s stunning match-winner eight minutes from time came after Bulls replacement hooker Johan Grobbelaar was red carded for shoulder to head contact on opposite number Marnus van der Merwe.
Reflecting on the win, Macleod declared: “It was pretty good, wasn’t it?
“It’s been a whole squad effort. We are together as one. That’s been evident over the last couple of weeks and it certainly feels like we are building something, but we don’t really want to stop here. There’s definitely more from us as a squad.”
The flanker added: “The character within the group is clear to see. In tough times, we can rely on our defence which in previous seasons may not have been the case. Clearly, that’s an element of growth which is a positive.”
Scarlets complete the opening block of URC fixtures when they take on Zebre at Parc y Scarlets on Friday night (19:35).
