Connacht vs Scarlets Rugby Kickoff Time And Lineups In URC Round 2

Connacht Rugby return to Dexcom Stadium in Galway for Round 2 of the United Rugby Championship, where they’ll take on Scarlets. Both teams are chasing early momentum, and a win here would be a valuable statement as the season begins to take shape.

After a strong showing in their opening match against Benetton, Connacht will look to build consistency, while Scarlets arrive eager to prove they can recapture the form that led them to a playoff berth last year. Both clubs know the importance of setting the tone early in the competition.

“I was really pleased with the result last weekend against a really strong Benetton side. There were a lot of positives to take from it but still plenty to improve on,” Connacht Head Coach Stuart Lancaster said. “The energy from the fans I thought was brilliant and we will need that same energy on Saturday this time with the earlier start. I know the Scarlets coaching team well and I have a lot of respect for them. They more than deserved their play-off chance last season.”

Here’s what to know about Connacht Rugby vs. Scarlets, including kickoff time, lineups, and how to watch live.
