Scarlets head coach Wayne Pivac insists it will be business as usual this weekend for Scarlets, despite the magnitude of their final GUINNESS PRO12 clash against Benetton Treviso.

The Llanelli outfit will wrap up the all-important sixth spot in the hunt for European qualification if they are victorious in Italy, but Treviso have proved a tough prospect at home so far this season.

Scarlets are unbeaten against Italian sides for the past two seasons, but with 2013’s defeat to Saturday’s opponents sticking in the memory, Pivac is adamant his side will be taking nothing for granted.

"We've just got to prepare for a game to win,” he said. “Sometimes when you're in the scenarios where you need a point or bonus-point win, it can disrupt things.

“We're quite happy to prepare the way we prepare. We've got to back ourselves to win that game.
“We know what the equation is, and we're looking forward to it.

“Treviso are a big challenge. They're in exactly the same boat as us. They had success against us two years ago and that's fresh in the boys' minds.

“Our aspiration every year is to be in Europe, that's certainly what we want to achieve. So we need total focus is this week on getting the job done.”

Pivac makes three changes to the side that beat Cardiff Blues in their penultimate game last weekend, with Adam Warren, Gareth Davies and Rob Evans replacing Harry Robinson, Aled Davies and Phil John respectively.

Robinson and Aled Davies both miss out through injury whilst John moves to the replacements bench, and Gareth Davies is making his return after a five-week suspension.

Meanwhile victory for Treviso would also guarantee them a spot in Europe’s top competition next year by finishing ahead of Italian rivals Zebre, but they have lost their last six GUINNESS PRO12 encounters.

Corniel Van Zyl will wave goodbye to Treviso after eight years of service to head back to his native South Africa, and will be given a guard of honour.

Antonio Pavanello comes into the pack in the second row, while there are also changes behind him with Francesco Minto coming in as flanker.

And in the backs Henry Seniloli comes in for Edoardo Gori at scrum-half, while Ludovico Nitoglia is replaced on the wing by Simone Ragusi
