Scarlets and Edinburgh claim crushing wins
By Nicholas McGee
Pro14 Group B leaders the Scarlets ran in seven tries as they crushed the Dragons 47-13 on Friday.
The defending champions, who won the competition in its last season as the Pro12, completed a clean sweep of their fellow Welsh provinces in emphatic fashion, having already beaten Cardiff Blues and the Ospreys twice.
James Davies, Tom Prydie, Dan Jones, Aled Davies, Aaron Shingler, Will Boyde and Rhys Jones all crossed for scores, heaping misery on a Dragons side that has won just two of their 13 games this season.
Meanwhile, South African side Southern Kings remain winless, Edinburgh making it three wins in four with a 37-7 victory.
Edinburgh were nilled by Glasgow Warriors last weekend and came close to serving up a shutout of their own against the former Super Rugby team.
Jaco van der Walt kicked 12 of Edinburgh's points while Grant Gilchrist, Blair Kinghorn, Duhan van der Merwe and Cameron Fenton went over to make it 32-0.
Six minutes from time Ntabeni Dukisa got the Kings on the board but Dougie Fife ensured Edinburgh had the final say to round off a dominant performance.

No just because the personal is much better than last year. I've shown no antagonism of Crusader players, you must be confusing me with someone else.
I have critized Razor for picking players he knows occasionally?
I said I'm not surprised because of his style, he's more a grinder player like Cane, not going to show up on peoples radar until you see how bad the other choices are. This year players like Clarke have been on fire and just show a bit more.
Are you one of those posters continually taking it easy on Razor because he doesn't have his Crusaders stars available? Do you think the rugby world is going to up to him suddenly once Mo'unga returns? lol
Go to commentsJohn you have been beating this drum for a couple of years, if you get proven right get back to us.
The last recent and decent Aussie coach was Ewen McKenzie, he was undermined and forced out by a couple of slimy Aussie players who were given a free pass when they should have been disciplined.
So our history since McQueen is very checkered and it seems to make little difference whether we have an Aussie coach or a Kiwi coach. The players have been entitled for a long time and we had to hit bottom to get them back into reality and to stop thinking it is all about them.
Cheika was an OK coach but his 'go our and destroy the opposition' tactic worked for a while and then didn't.
Please give me a list of great Aussie coaches that I have missed.
