European Cup record

Scarlets enjoyed an impressive campaign in the 2017-18 season, seeing off three-time winners RC Toulon and becoming the first side to qualify for the quarter-finals having lost their opening two games. They then defeated La Rochelle in the last eight at a sold out Parc y Scarlets before being beaten by eventual winners Leinster in Dublin in the semi-finals.

Last season

The Welsh region reached the quarter-finals of the Challenge Cup last season, but were beaten 11-6 by eventual finalists RC Toulon at Stade Felix Mayol.

Head coach

New Zealander Glenn Delaney took over as head coach earlier this year, having been an assistant since the summer of 2019. He has previously been head coach at Nottingham, London Irish and Canterbury, as well as an assistant at Highlanders.

Key players

Scarlets can boast plenty of star quality in the ranks, with the likes of full-back Leigh Halfpenny, fly-half Rhys Patchell as well as Aaron Shingler and Gareth Davies in the squad.

Pool fixtures

Scarlets will return to Toulon to face the three-time winners for a second consecutive season, whilst they have also met Bath Rugby in their most recent Heineken Champions Cup campaign.

Welsh region Scarlets make a welcome return to the Heineken Champions Cup this season and look set for a strong run in Europe’s elite club competition.
