Scarlets welcome Tomi Lewis back from injury

Wing Tomi Lewis will make his first Scarlets appearance of the season in Saturday’s BKT United Rugby Championship round 12 clash with Ulster at Belfast’s Kingspan Stadium (17:15; S4C, Premier Sports).

Lewis hasn’t featured since rupturing his Achilles in the Judgement Day win over the Dragons last June.

He is named in a side showing seven personnel changes from the defeat to Munster in Limerick last time out.

Lewis comes in on the left wing, with Macs Page - who scored a stunning individual try against the Munstermen - getting the nod on the right wing.

Wales squad member Joe Roberts and fellow international Johnny Williams continue in midfield, as do Ioan Lloyd and Gareth Davies at half-back.

There is a new front row of Alec Hepburn, Ryan Elias and Sam Wainwright. Elias wears the captain’s armband in the continued absence of Josh Macleod (hamstring).

At lock, Alex Craig starts alongside Sam Lousi, while Max Douglas switches to blindside flanker in a back row that includes Dan Davis and Jarrod Taylor.

Sam O’Connor and Jac Price come onto the bench, as does Gabe Hawley, who replaces Archer Holz.
