Cardiff and the Scarlets meet again in United Rugby Championship play with recent history leaning toward the visitors, even as current form points in the opposite direction.
The Scarlets have won four of the last five meetings between the Welsh rivals, including a 25–19 victory at Cardiff Arms Park in October 2024 during Round 4 of the 2024–2025 URC season. In that match, the Scarlets controlled large stretches, leading for 61 minutes and closing out another narrow derby win.

Momentum entering this contest, however, favors Cardiff. Cardiff has won four of its last five matches and comes in off a 29–26 victory over Ulster, showing resilience in close finishes and improved consistency.
The Scarlets arrive having won just one of their last five games and are coming off a 50–21 loss to Bordeaux, a result that extended a difficult recent stretch despite their historical edge in this fixture.
The match will be played at Cardiff Arms Park with Ben Breakspear serving as referee. With Cardiff pushing to continue its strong run and the Scarlets looking to reverse recent form while maintaining derby dominance, this URC clash carries added importance for both sides as the season progresses.
