Owens back for Scarlets in time for Munster clash

The Scarlets welcome back Welsh internationals Ken Owens and Jonathan Davies for their Magner’s League clash with Munster at Musgrave Park on Thursday evening.

However, they do have Wallaby number eight David Lyons, who has been their tower of strength this season.
