A ferocious start this from Edinburgh, with dark blue jerseys constantly piercing the red line of Scarlets defenders.

They're inches away... but Boan Venter spills it over the line and the Scarlets can clear.

A huge opportunity bungled.

Ben Healy gets us under way as the sun sets on the Hive Stadium.

There's a bit of confusion early on in the Scarlets rank, and they're hemmed in coffin corner. Edinburgh throw on the 22m.

Edinburgh started very pragmatic. We expected that to evolve, and it did. But now, they're lacking confidence and they look to be in between two styles.

They're overthinking things. Are they a kicking team or a running team?

On paper, they look a really strong team and they should be higher up the table.

Scarlets flanker Taine Plumtree returns after a five-month injury lay-off for the trip to the Scottish capital having recovered from a shoulder injury suffered in November against Lions that required surgery.

Plumtree's fellow Wales internationals Johnny Williams, Sam Costelow, Gareth Davies and Kemsley Mathias also return to the starting side.

Edinburgh head coach Sean Everitt has freshened up his side with seven changes for Saturday's visit of Scarlets in the United Rugby Championship.

Five players drop out of the pack from last weekend's Challenge Cup quarter-final exit at Sharks, with Dave Cherry, Boan Venter and Javan Sebastian replacing Ewan Ashman, WP Nel and Pierre Schoeman.

Jamie Hodgson and Luke Crosbie also come into the XV as Sam Skinner and Hamish Watson are rested.

With a new contract under his belt, Ali Price starts ahead of Ben Vellacott behind the scrum. James Lang comes in for Jake Henry, who misses out due to a hamstring injury.

Edinburgh head coach Sean Everitt tells Premier Sports: "Scarlets are good with ball in hand, Dwyane is a very good attack coach and they've been growing their attack. We see that as a threat and we'll have to contain them and defend really well.

"Every game from now until the end is vitally important. The results this weekend haven't gone our way, but our destiny is in our own hands.

[On Ali Price] "Ali brings a wealth of experience, a British and Irish Lion, but more than that he's a good bloke and a good leader."

We're only just recovering from Scotland's tense win over Italy in the Women's Six Nations - so let's get our URC heads back on.

Edinburgh host Scarlets at the Hive, with five games left in the league before the play-offs.

The Scottish side would consider this a winnable game, on paper. Let's have a look at the teams.
