Rabo Direct Pro 12 Round 7
Connacht v Llanelli Scarlets
Saturday 23rd November 17.00
Connacht will be looking to kickstart their Rabo Direct Pro 12 season when they host a weakened Scarlets at the Sportsground on Saturday. After just one win in seven rounds of the competition Pat Lam and his squad will be acutely aware of the need to pick up points during the International Window. Scarlets demonstrated their potential with a surprise win away to Harlequins in the Heineken Cup but come into this game off the back of a heavy beating away to Saracens in the LV Cup last weekend.
