Connacht bid to end early season crisis

You would have got some odds at the start of the campaign that these two sides would go into the fourth weekend of the Pro12 not only not having won a match, but with neither of them having picked up a single point.

After all, aside from the opening weekend last season, either Scarlets or Connacht were top of the table for the opening 12 rounds of the competition.

Now they face off at Parc y Scarlets not only bidding for points, but also trying to prevent an early season crisis.
