Scarlets v Dragons Live: Kick-off time, team news and score updates from Parc y Scarlets

The Scarlets will be hoping to pump some life into their United Rugby Championship campaign with a victory over Dragons RFC this evening.

Dwayne Peel's side have endured a horrid season to date winning just one URC fixture, and they were bitterly disappointing in their last outing against arch-rivals the Ospreys on Boxing Day.

Dai Flanagan's Dragons may have suffered last-gasp heartbreak against Cardiff last week but they travel down the M4 with a renewed sense of optimism.

Whereas they have fallen on the wrong side of results too often, the performances have been significantly improved under Flanagan and they will fancy their chances of securing their second consecutive victory at Parc y Scarlets.

Kick-off is at 5.15pm and you can follow all the action in the live blog below.
