What a great result in Llanelli. Great atmosphere and a performance that will have Leinster and Saracens papping themselves. Brilliant stuff.

Great result. Play a great style of rugby. My fav non-mick team

I prefer the safe steady methods of Gatland. I don't care for that breathless passing and running carry-on.

I'd been looking forward to this match all week but it only sparked into life in fits and starts. Scarlets played well but boy La Rochelle were naïve and error prone. I also think Scarlets got the rub of the green on most of the ref's decisions. It's a shame we didn't get to see a La Rochelle back row of Botia, Gourdon and Vito - they must be up there as the best back row in Europe. I was also annoyed that I didn't get to see J Davies in the back row for longer than ten minutes. The Scarlets backup flyhalf looks like a talented player.
Overall, it's good for a Welsh team to progress. It's always nice to see those less fortunate have their moment in the sun

Oh yeah, Ken Owens was immense.

Didn't see the game but chuffed to bits with the result. Now c'mon Munster!!

Indeed. It drains all enjoyment out of a game when they build a big lead. Much better to have a classic one point victory.

Something for Pivac to work on.

Having now watched the match I can say that the first La Rochelle try was pretty dubious, I'm not sure how the TMO was sure of that grounding.

Fantastic defence for the Scarlets throughout the match - the foundation of their victory. Well deserved win.

Good win for the Blues up in Edinburgh too.

Superb result. A hard semi awaits, but this Scarlets team is dangerous and other teams will be wary.

Shaun Edwards was purring on Sky after that Blues second half defensive display

Standard for him.
I see Patch scored.
