Connacht are hoping to continue their fast start to the season and can go top of the URC if they beat Scarlets tonight.

The Galway-based outfit have won one and lost the other of their opening two matches but currently sit in third place.

And with Leinster and Munster not playing until tomorrow, it gives Peter Wilkins' outfit the chance to go top.

Standing in their way are the Scarlets, who currently lie in 13th position. It has been a slow start to the season for the Welsh side but they will be gearing up for a big home win.

Today's game takes place at the Parc Y Scarlets in Llanelli, Wales. Today's game kicks off at 7.35 pm and is available to watch live on TG4 and stream on the TG4 Player. It will also be available to watch on Premier Sports.
