Jones set to face Ulster

British & Irish Lions out-half Stephen Jones returns to The Scarlets line-up for their trip to face Ulster at Ravenhill on Friday night.

"Stephen will play for us on Friday which will give him an opportunity to roll into the European game," said coach Nigel Davies.

"He's massive for us - he has that level of experience and mental toughness on the field that we need for this game. He brings a real composure and understanding to the team and does boss games particularly well."

Openside Johnathan Edwards will also start for the first time this season.
