Rhys Priestland has led Scarlets from behind to a 19-13 win over Racing Metro in the Heineken Cup this evening.

The fly-half kicked four penalties and a conversion in the win, which officially eliminates the French side from the tournament.

Mike Phillips, who began his club career with Scarlets, scored a try against the Welsh side in the first half to put Racing ahead, but Priestland kept them in contention at half time.

Priestland kept adding the penalties to put the visitors in front before Kristian Phillips scored a game-winning try inside the final 20 minutes.

The result leaves Scarlets third in their pool, and gives them a slender chance of progressing to the knockout stage.
