Scarlets v Toulon: Champions Cup preview

Aaron Shingler comes into the Scarlets back row for Sunday's contest

The Scarlets have made five changes to their pack for Sunday's Champions Cup return fixture with Toulon, live on Sky Sports 4 HD from 12.30pm.

The Welsh region went down fighting at the Stade Felix Mayol last Sunday, losing 31-20, and need a victory to keep alive their slim hopes of reaching the knockout stages.

Props Rob Evans and Samson Lee return while Aaron Shingler and Will Boyde come into the back row, the latter replacing the suspended James Davies.

"To have a side like Toulon at home is going to be great," said Scarlets head coach Wayne Pivac.

"We'd like to right the wrongs of last week. At times I felt we were unlucky in that game. We know what to expect now.

"For us it's about getting a good start, not lagging behind like we did out there. If we get a good start I think the self-belief will be there and it could be a hell of a day at the office. We're looking forward to it."
