F-T: Scarlets 27, Sharks 32. Four tries to three in favour of the visitors, with a hat-trick for their Ulster-bound wing Werner Kok. A late score from Scarlets full-back Ioan Nicholas set up a grandstand finish, but they just ran out of time.
Sharks come away with the scrappy win but Scarlets made it that way. Siya Masuku had another cracking game. Nice for Werner Kok to score three in his 50th. Onto #OurStoep v Clermont next week. #SCAvSHA
