25-year-old Beirne was there to finish an impressive team move from the Welsh outfit. His footwork sent England international Anthony Watson packing before he crossed the line to open the scoring.
Scarlets really boosted their chances of reaching the Champions Cup quarter-finals by displacing Bath at the top of Pool Five, running out 35-17 winners in the end at The Rec.
And a moment or two of magic from the former Ireland U20 international really lit it up.
Tadhg Beirne is a brilliant signing for Munster. Truthfully I never saw him becoming this sort of player in his time with the Leinster Academy! One for 2019 RWC Squad???
