Scarlets won both previous encounters with Aironi last campaign.

Scarlets finished off last season with successive wins over Glasgow and the Blues, and won three of their last four matches at Parc y Scarlets. The Welshmen’s only previous loss to an Italian team was 28-34 in Treviso in round one last year.

Aironi Rugby are yet to record an away victory in any tournament since they were formed twelve months ago. The Italians slipped to eight losses in eight matches against Welsh opponents during their maiden season, and will hope to end the sequence in this RaboDirect PRO12 showdown.

Referee: Andrew McMenemy (SRU, 6th competition game)
