Dwayne Peel's Scarlets suffered a nine-try 57-12 rout in South Africa at the hands of the Bulls.
The tough Friday night outing in Pretoria was a one-sided win which saw hooker Johannes Grobbelaar and No. 8 Marcell Coetzee cross the whitewash twice apiece, with the Scarlets' Sione Kalamafoni and Rob Evans hitting back late on in each half.
First-half scores came from Canan Moodie, Coetzee, Cyle Brink, Grobbelaar and Elrigh Louw, before Kalamafoni hit back with a try converted by Rhys Patchell to make it 31-7 at the break. But Ruan Nortje, Grobbelaar, Coetzee and Rob Hunt added more after the interval, with Chris Smith nailing five conversions in total and Morne Steyn adding another. Scarlets' only score in the second half came from Wales international Evans, who barged over in the last move of his matchday comeback for the first time since damaging knee ligaments on New Year's Day.
