Edinburgh vs Scarlets meet at the Hive Stadium as both teams are having a difficult season.
Both sides have only picked up three wins this season, and despite also having a draw, the Scarlets sit three points behind Edinburgh. Edinburgh players have had an interesting Six Nations campaign as none were involved in the starting XV against England. Wales have lost all of their matches so far this year, but showed an improved performance against Scotland.
A win for either side at this stage of the season will give them a much-needed boost towards the all-important top eight.
