Sense over Evans’ Leinster dismissal
resenting Steff and making sure he gets the best help possible because we want him for the final.
"He was devastated. Some players take those things on the chin, but he was a broken man, you could see that.
"He felt at the time he may have cost the team an entire season's work.
“For a young player to feel like that is an uncomfortable position to be in.
"He took it very hard and was probably the most relieved man in Dublin on Friday night.
"At half-time I just gave him a quiet pat on the back.
“He scored a great try, created another one and saved a try.
“He played his part by half-time, it was up to the other 14 to dig in.
"The players spoke about that at half-time, they rose, tested the strength of the group and came through."
In terms of the hearing, Pivac added: "We are just getting information together, looking at a few old cases.
"As I say, there was no malice in it, with his record I would like to think the sending off was sufficient because I know exactly what he has been through on Friday night in Dublin.
"We are going to leave no stone unturned."
The Scarlets will again be without skipper Ken Owens and second row Jake Ball for the Aviva Stadium showpiece.
Owens missed the semi-final after picking up an ankle injury in training and has linked up with the Lions in Ireland, while fellow Wales international Ball is still struggling to overcome a shoulder issue.
"Ken and Jake won't feature in the final.
“It is just too soon," admitted Pivac.
"Ken is improving daily, which is great.
"He is with the Lions at the moment, but won't be right for our game so he has been released to the Lions.
"Jake's shoulder is still problematic. We are in discussions with our medical team and with Wales at the moment. They will sort out what they do going forward.
"Touch wood, everyone else is good, we will like to think we have the same squad to select from."
