Wayne Pivac is heading back to Llanelli, but this time, he'll be plotting against the Scarlets rather than coaching them.

Pivac's Benetton team visits the Scarlets on Saturday in United Rugby Championship Round 3, with both clubs still searching for their first victory. Benetton enters the weekend 12th with three points after a draw and a loss, while Scarlets sits 14th with two points following consecutive defeats.

The Scarlets welcome Wales international Joe Hawkins into the starting XV as one of three personnel changes. 

Benetton counters with Federico Ruzza, who is set to make his 150th appearance for the Italian club, while Michele Lamaro captains the visitors.

Scarlets director of rugby Nigel Davies wants his side to improve its possession and territory after managing just over 30 percent in both categories last weekend. Meanwhile, Pivac returns to face the club he previously coached, looking to turn Benetton's promising stretches into a complete 80-minute performance.
