Scarlets’ miserable season continued with a shock loss to Challenge Cup newcomers Black Lion in Llanelli.
A Vaea Fifita try came during a bright start, but Dwayne’s Peel’s side inexplicably collapsed as they conceded 23 unanswered points.
Miriani Modebadze and Beka Mamrikashvili crossed in either half for the Georgian visitors, while Luka Matkava added 13 points with the boot.
Scarlets have now lost seven of nine games in all competitions.
