Discipline was also the key factor in Scarlets missing out on a significant result in Glasgow, according to captain Josh MacLeod.<\/p>\n

But unlike Cardiff, Scarlets let slip a 15-7 lead in the narrow loss at Glasgow Warriors<\/a> to end their three-game winning run.<\/p>\n

“I couldn’t have asked for more from the players but there’s only so much defending you can do,” said MacLeod, who weighed in with a match-leading 26 tackles.<\/p>\n

“It felt like we spent three-quarters of the first half defending on our try line and, in the end, that takes it out of your legs.”<\/p>\n

Scarlets still had a chance to win it late on as Ioan Lloyd missed a penalty and saw a last-gasp drop goal charged down.<\/p>\n

But the decision to turn down an earlier – and easier – penalty kick at goal was met with a shake of the head from head coach Dwayne Peel.<\/p>\n

He said afterwards: “It was a decision by the boys. They had momentum but we will review it. But that’s not why we lost, we weren’t clinical enough.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
