Scarlets survived having three players sent to the sin-bin for the second week in succession to beat Ulster in their Pro12 encounter at Parc y Scarlets.
Pete Edwards, John Barclay and George Earle were all shown yellow, but Scarlets remained mostly in control.
Fly-half Dan Jones kicked 17 points, with Hadleigh Parkes scoring a try.
Ulster threatened a comeback when Rory Scholes crossed before being awarded a penalty try, but a late Jones penalty denied them even a losing bonus point.
Scarlets, unchanged from their opening win at champions Glasgow,started brightly and Parkes almost squeezed in at the right corner after a flowing Scarlets counter-attack, but Scholes just dragged his opposite winger into touch.
Fly-half Jones kept the scoreboard ticking over for the home side, though, with three penalties.
But the disciplinary problems that saw Scarlets finish last week's win at Scotstoun with three men in the sin-bin continued, with prop Edwards yellow-carded three minutes before half-time for not using his arms in the tackle.
Referee Andrew Brace had already issued a warning for the same offence to scrum-half Aled Davies and this time reached for his pocket.
But Ulster - so impressive against Welsh opposition last week whenbeating Ospreys at home - were not able to take full advantage of the indiscretion, as Stuart McCloskey skewed the resulting penalty wide of the right-hand post.
Instead Scarlets continued to dominate and Jones missed a penalty soon after the restart, but kicked a brilliant touchline conversion soon after when Parkes claimed a try.
Scarlets' forwards sucked in the Ulster defence before the ball was spread wide by fly-half Jones to Gareth Owen, who fixed the last defender before sending his winger over for a try.
Stung into action, Ulster at last maintained pressure in the Scarlets 22 and the home side had number eight Barclay sin-binned for slowing possession at a ruck.
This time the visitors made their numerical advantage count and wing Scholes twisted through James Davies' tackle to score an unconverted try in the left corner.
Jones added a fourth penalty but Ulster, encouraged by their earlier success, continued to go through the phases.
Another try-line struggle saw Scarlets replacement lock Earle collapse a maul, give up a penalty try - converted by McCloskey - and earn himself 10 minutes in the sin-bin.
But with time running out, Ulster fly-half Peter Nelson was caught trying to run the ball out of defence, conceding a penalty that opposite number Jones tucked away to give Scarlets victory and deny the visitors a losing bonus point.
Treviso 24-27 Edinburgh
Greig Tonks knocked over a late penalty to give Edinburgh a hard-earned victory over Treviso in Italy.
First-half tries from Phil Burleigh, Damien Hoyland and Sam Beard gave the visitors a great platform.
But Andrea Pratichetti and Duncan Naude touched down either side of half-time and Jayden Hayward kicked his fourth successful penalty to level the game.
Tonks then took his points tally to 12 with a penalty on 72 minutes to make it two wins from two in the Pro12.
Following on from last weekend's 16-9 win against Leinster, Burleigh opened the scoring after just four minutes, while winger Hoyland made it three tries in two games as he sprinted clear.
Beard provided the pass for Hoyland and then dived in at the corner seven minutes before half time.
But a good spell of home pressure saw Pratichetti touch down against the post protector and Edinburgh's lead was cut to eight points at the interval.
Edinburgh then had Neil Cochrane sin-binned for repeated infringements and Naude forced his way over the line to cut the deficit further, although Hayward failed to land the extras this time.
But the New Zealander would later level the game at 24-24 before Tonks delivered the winning kick.
Edinburgh needed to withstand a further barrage, with Treviso knocking on just short of the line before Alan Solomons' side could boot the ball clear.
Leinster 23-15 Cardiff Blues
Leinster earned their first win of the Pro12 season but had to battle hard to beat Cardiff Blues despite dominating possession for most of the contest.
Two Rhys Patchell penalties put Cardiff 6-0 up but a Jack Conan try helped the home side move 10-6 up with Isa Nacewa moving beyond 400 points for Leinster.
Another Patchell penalty cut the lead to 10-9 by the break and his two further kicks put Cardiff 15-13 up.
But Nacewa's third penalty and a late penalty try proved enough for Leinster.
After retaking the lead with Nacewa's 65th-minute penalty, Leinster dominated the next 12 minutes of action and the clinching penalty try came after Blues skipper Josh Navidi had been sin-binned for coming in from the side as the home side were camped on the Cardiff line.
Four-times champions Leinster opened their campaign last weekend with a 16-9 defeat in Edinburgh with Cardiff earning a 61-13 bonus-point win over perennial Pro12 struggles Zebre.
Patchell's two early penalties gave Cardiff a 6-0 advantage at the RDS with his second effort from just inside his own half.
However, Leinster, minus their 16 Ireland World Cup squad members, regrouped to dominate possession with flanker Josh van der Flier and centre Ben Te'o both particularly prominent.
Veteran Nacewa's first penalty brought up his 400 points for the Irish province and they were ahead by the 16th minute as Conan burrowed his way over after a break by the lively Te'o.
Nacewa's conversion increased Leinster's lead but Cardiff produced remarkable discipline to withstand further pressure and then snatched three points before the break as Patchell slotted another long-range penalty.
After having 76% of the first-half possession, Leinster increased their lead to 13-9 thanks to a second Nacewa penalty but Cardiff continued to show great resolve as two Patchell penalties put them 15-13 up.
At that stage, a remarkable rearguard action win appeared on for the visitors but Leinster reasserted themselves in the closing 15 minutes as Nacewa's third penalty was followed by their clinching penalty try following Navidi's 75th-minute sin-binning.
Leinster were already camped on the line when the Blues skipper was yellow carded and from the resultant line-out, another maul ended up with referee Ben Whitehouse signalling the penalty try, which Nacewa converted.
Patchell attempted to snatch a bonus point with a late ambitious drop goal attempt but was off target.
