Veteran Wales centre Jonathan Davies will captain the Scarlets in the Vodacom United Rugby Championship clash against the Stormers in Llanelli on Saturday.

Despite suffering from a 13-man injury list, the Scarlets have still been able to name a fairly strong matchday-23 to face the Stormers in the key URC match.

Davies is at outside centre alongside fellow Wales international Johnny Williams, while British & Irish Lions back Liam Williams makes a return from injury on the right wing.

62-capped scrumhalf Gareth Davies starts in a halfback partnership with Sam Costelow, with Rhys Patchell on the bench.

If the Scarlets manage more match points than the Ospreys – who take on Vodacom Bulls in Swansea on Friday night – they will lift the Welsh Shield and secure Champions Cup qualification for next season.
