The Scarlets are currently 12th on the URC table with three wins, a draw and four losses in eight games.

Recent results have also not been great for the Scarlets with three defeats in their last four games. However, all of those losses have come by two or less points.

Scarlets last fixture, which took place on 21 December, saw them go down narrowly 23-22 at the Ospreys. It was a game the Scarlets could have won, many would say, should have won, but it got away from them at the end.

Scarlets should have a full-strength side out on the park given their 10-day break ahead of this clash.

The Dragons are having another poor season with just one win in eight URC fixtures. They have eight points and are bottom of the URC table.

Since losing 31-23 at Cardiff at the end of November, the Dragons have lost 18-14 at home to Montpellier in the Challenge Cup before defeating Newcastle in the same competition away from home.
