Rhodri Williams' 150th appearance for Dragons Rugby was always going to be special. Getting there at home against his former club adds a little more to the occasion.
Williams will reach the milestone Saturday when Dragons welcome the Scarlets to Rodney Parade for their 2026-27 United Rugby Championship home opener. Dragons enter Round 2 after a 19-19 draw at Benetton, while Scarlets are searching for their first win after a 21-15 loss to Cardiff Rugby.

Williams starts at scrum-half for Dragons, while Ben Carter captains the side. Scarlets make five personnel changes, highlighted by the return of Wales fly-half Sam Costelow at No. 10.
Scarlets have controlled the rivalry overall, winning 36 of the 52 meetings between the Welsh sides. Rodney Parade has been a different story, however, with Dragons winning 11 of their 20 home meetings against Scarlets.
