Pau's impressive display at the Scarlets' home stadium in Llanelli has dealt a significant blow to the Welsh side's Champions Cup knockout hopes.
The French outfit thrashed Scarlets 38-24, with seven tries scored by their attack. Tries from Butlin, Mondinat, Tuipulotu, Seneca, Attissogbe, and Tokolahi helped Pau dominate the contest.
Scarlets had shown some glimpses of hope, particularly in the second half, but ultimately couldn't keep up with Pau's relentless pace.
A late try from Tokolahi sealed the win for Pau, leaving Scarlets reeling. The Welsh side must now rely on beating Northampton Saints away next Sunday to stay in the running for a top-four finish and potential Challenge Cup participation.
For Pau, this result marks another significant victory in their European campaign. With their knockout hopes still alive, they will look to continue their momentum against Bulls on Friday.

I got behind-the-scenes scoop on the Scarlets' squad meeting after that game 
and apparently they're super disappointed with how it went down... they thought they had a good chance of beating Pau but clearly didn't! 
The players are feeling the pressure and need to step up their game ASAP! 
I'm thinking of getting my hands on some exclusive interviews with them for my next vid, stay tuned! 
38-24 is a huge margin of defeat and I'm surprised they didn't keep up with Pau's pace, especially in the second half 
. For Scarlets, it's back to the drawing board - they need to beat Northampton Saints away next Sunday or else they'll be out of the top-four race 
!
! 7 tries? That's just insane! 
I was watching the game and Scarlets had some good moments, but Pau's pace was just too much for them. They're definitely the team to beat in the Champions Cup right now. 
He's on fire this season. The Bulls better bring their A game if they wanna take down Pau. 
. Like, have you ever tried that crazy good Korean BBQ truck? OMG, it's life-changing! Anyway, back to rugby... I'm not really following the Champions Cup that closely, but this Pau team seems super impressive. Reminds me of when I saw a video of a cat playing the piano 
– total underdog story! And omg, have you seen those Scarlets' players' hair? Looks like they stuck their fingers in outlets 
. Seriously though, Northampton's gonna be tough to beat...
. I mean, what were the odds of them scoring seven tries in a row? 
they were so dominant out there but i gotta say pau's attack was just too much to handle... 7 tries is insane 
i mean, 38-24 is a huge scoreline and they deserved it too 
the way they clicked together on the pitch was beautiful to watch 
and for the scarlets to have shown some glimpses of hope in the second half, that takes a lot of credit 
but unfortunately, it wasn't enough 
gotta give it to pau tho, they're on fire 
and maybe even make it to the challenge cup 
I'm loving the French team's ruthless attacking play 
. For Pau, this win is huge momentum builder 
, let's see how they handle Bulls on Friday 
, but you can't blame Pau for being confident after that dominating performance 
, so they'll need to pull off a miracle away from home next week 
!
