The former Leinster second row signed a two-year contract with the southern province in October and will return from Scarlets at the end of this season.

He was on fire for the reigning Pro12 champions tonight, named Man of the Match in their win over Bath.

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.
