Scarlets vs Bulls URC preview as the sides meet at the Parc y Scarlets.
Scarlets currently sit 15th out of 16 teams in the URC table with just four wins in 15 games this season. They are within catching distance of the Dragons and Benetton, who are ahead of them in the table.
The Bulls currently sit eighth in the table, on the edge of the playoff places, but with the top eight being so tightly compressed, they could reach as high as fourth with a bonus point win.
