Wales international Sam Wainwright will make his first Scarlets start when he lines up against the Vodacom Bulls in the United Rugby Championship encounter in Llanelli on Friday (7.35pm).
The west Walians have been bringing through the RGC 1404 product gradually since his arrival from Saracens in November, with the prop’s four previous outings for Dwayne Peel’s side all coming off the bench.
But with Javan Sebastian part of Scotland’s Six Nations squad, the newcomer is handed an opportunity in a run-on side. It will be a test for him, with the Bulls renowned for their scrummaging and fielding a powerful front row.
