Hodges And Jones Move Into Llanelli Back Row

Llanelli have made two changes to the team that brushed Glasgow aside in their opening Heineken Cup match for their trip to Bourgoin this week. The Scarlets were 36-30 winners on their last trip to Stade Pierre Rajon in the Heineken Cup in the 1999-2000 season.

American international David Hodges replaces the injured Simon Easterby and Dafydd Jones also comes into the back row for Ian Boobyer. Scott Quinnell remains at No 8.

Easterby damaged a shoulder in the 45-15 win over Glasgow. The injury will keep him out for a minimum of two weeks.

The injury adds to Llanelli's concerns before travelling to face a Bourgoin side who produced perhaps the performance of the first round, winning 18-24 at Sale.

Llanelli: G Evans; M Jones, M Watkins, L Davies (capt), S Finau; S Jones, D Peel; I Thomas, R McBryde, M Madden, V Cooper, C Wyatt, D Hodges, D Jones, S Quinnell.
Replacements: J Davies, M Thomas, L Gross, G Easterby, M Phillips, G Bowen
