The Scarlets travel to France to face one of the most daunting tasks in rugby as they play European champions Bordeaux-Begles (KO: 5.30pm).
The Welsh team lost their opening match of the Champions Cup by a single point against Bristol last week and will do well to come as close this time around against formidable opposition. Dwayne Peel has to made eight changes, some enforced due to injury, while Wales pair Blair Murray and Taine Plumtree are still unavailable. Tomi Lewis replaces Wales wing Tom Rogers, who is also unavailable.
