Duvenage leads Benetton out

Scarlets will look to return to winning ways having conceded 93 points in heavy defeats to Munster and defending champions Leinster.



The Welsh side, whose only victory so far this season came against the Emirates Lions in Round 2, should be encouraged by their record over Italian opponents having won their last six since losing to Benetton in Treviso in 2019.



After starting the season with back-to-back wins, Benetton head to Wales hoping to avoid a third successive defeat having been beaten by Ulster and the Ospreys.



The Italians have won just two of their previous 15 championship meetings with Scarlets - at this venue in May 2013 - and have triumphed only once away from home in this competition since August 2020.
