Scarlets' Six Nations contingent will all make a return to the regional side on Saturday apart from Samson Lee, who is out with a long term injury to his Achilles, and fullback Liam Williams has failed to make the grade at a late fitness test missing out on the all-important clash with a thigh haemotoma.
His namesake Jordan will fill the mantle at fullback with Harry Robinson and Hadleigh Parkes making up the back-three. Scott Williams returns to partner Regan King in the centre with Head Coach Wayne Pivac repaying Steven Shingler and Aled Davies with their starting berths after solid performances for the region throughout the Six Nations campaign.
Wales hooker Ken Owens in joined in the front row by Scarlets' newest international, loosehead prop Rob Evans, and tighthead prop Peter Edwards. Jake Ball returns from international duty to partner George Earle in the second row with Lewis Rawlins joining James Davies and John Barclay in the backrow.
Hooker Emyr Phillips makes a return to action, for the first time since injuring his shoulder in the festive derby against the Ospreys at the Liberty Stadium, along with international halfback pairing Rhys Priestland and Gareth Davies.
Scarlets Head Coach Wayne Pivac said; "We're under no illusion that we need to win this weekend, it's an old cliché but we really are taking it week by week but we have to.
"If we can get across the line on Saturday we may have some breathing space on Edinburgh. Clearly we want to win every game. On our recent form you'd say we've got some tough games coming up because we're playing away from home."
