Winners and losers amid humiliating Welsh rugby surrender but forgotten Wales stars impress

Two wins out of four for the regions, so at least something to cheer for the Welsh professional game.

Well, in Llanelli they were applauding after the emphatic 35-10 win over Glasgow Warriors.

The Ospreys also won but far less convincingly as they saw off United Rugby Championship basement team Zebre.

But it wasn't all good news from a Welsh perspective with Cardiff hammered by Ulster in Belfast and the Dragons destroyed by Munster in Limerick.

A mixed bag, then.

MARK ORDERS and SIMON THOMAS run through the weekend's winners and losers.

It's been a long time coming, and for much of the first half it didn't look as if they would deliver the kind of performance Dwayne Peel has been searching for as Scarlets coach.

But 35 unanswered points hoisted the west Walians to a stylish win over Glasgow.

Peel's team clicked, with forwards and backs handling in moves that flowed and tries resulting.

The human battering ram that is Sione Kalamanfoni unfailingly crossed the gain-line, while Sam Lousi seemed to be everywhere at once and Dan Davis shone brightly at openside. Behind, pretty much everything went well, with the back three never less than sharp, Johnny Williams and Scott Williams strong in midfield and the half-backs controlling matters nicely.

One swallow doesn't a summer make, but the Scarlets have skilful players and Peel will hope a turning point in their season has been reached.

It will have been a frustrating time of late for the 66-cap Davies.

He didn't get off the bench for Wales against Scotland and was then dropped from the 23 for the trip to Twickenham.

So, having been released from the squad to get some game-time with the Scarlets, he would have been a man with the bit between his teeth against Glasgow on
