Dragons v Scarlets live updates: Kick-off time, TV channel, team news and all the action

The Dragons will be aiming to complete the double while the Scarlets will be after revenge when the two regions lock horns once again at Rodney Parade this afternoon (3pm). It was the Men of Gwent who recorded a surprise 38-27 victory down in Llanelli last weekend, just their second win of the season in all competitions.

Now it’s time for the re-match as the teams head into another United Rugby Championship clash, with the Scarlets badly needing a win to remain on course for European qualification. Their coach Dwayne Peel has made seven changes, with fly-half Rhys Patchell, centre Johnny Williams, hooker Ryan Elias and lock Sam Lousi among those coming in, amid injuries to Liam Williams, Johnny McNicholl and Sam Costelow.

For the Dragons, Wales flanker Taine Basham moves to the bench, with Ben Fry taking over on the openside, as ex-Scarlet Jordan Williams returns at full-back after illness. Test hooker Elliot Dee has recovered from the head knock that forced him off last weekend and figures among the replacements. The game is being shown live on BBC Two Wales and Premier Sports, but if you can’t get in front of a TV you can follow all the action via our live blog.
