Wales fly-half Sam Costelow is replaced by regional and international rival Ioan Lloyd for Scarlets this afternoon.
Lloyd had an absolute stormer here last season and Scarlets will be hoping for a repeat performance.
Costelow drops to the replacements’ bench, while prop Kemsley Mathias and hooker Marnus van der Merwe start instead of Alec Hepburn and Ryan Elias.
There is also a late change to the Scarlets’ starting XV, with Alex Craig promoted from the bench as Max Douglas misses out. Jac Price comes on to the bench.
Scarlets: Ioan Nicholas; Tom Rogers, Johnny Williams, Eddie James, Blair Murray; Ioan Lloyd, Gareth Davies; Kemsley Mathias, Marnus van der Merwe, Henry Thomas, Sam Lousi, Alex Craig, Josh Macleod (capt), Dan Davis, Taine Plumtree.
Replacements: Ryan Elias, Alec Hepburn, Sam Wainwright, Jac Price, Carwyn Tuipulotu, Efan Jones, Sam Costelow, Macs Page.
