Scarlets have lost their three Pool Five matches

Munster have made one change for Sunday's Heineken Cup clash against the Scarlets with Ireland prop Marcus Horan replaced by Federico Pucciariello.

The only other change in the Munster squad sees Niall Ronan replacing James Coughlan on the bench.

Stephen Jones, Alix Popham, Jon Davies, Ben Broster, Vernon Cooper and James Bater return to the Scarlets side.

Gavin Evans, Rhys Priestland, Deacon Manu, Scott MacLeod, Gavin Thomas and Dafydd Jones drop out of the XV.

Scarlets director of rugby Phil Davies is refusing to throw in the towel after his side slid to their third straight Pool Five defeat last week.

The Scarlets are keen to avenge a 29-16 loss to Munster at Stradey Park.

"We are still in there. We are not going to lie down and make it easy for anyone," said Davies.

"We have got three games left and it's still in our hands at the moment."

Davies said he would be "well happy" if the Scarlets won their remaining three games, although even three bonus-point wins are unlikely to be enough for the Welsh side to make the quarter-finals.

Scarlets have no points while pool leaders Munster have 10 and they will do the Welsh side no favours in the return trip to Limerick next weekend.

"It's a great challenge to play back-to-back games against such a great team as Munster. Hopefully we can get back on our horses next week," Davies added.

"We played a good team on Sunday. They were outstanding and you have to take your hat off to them.

"It's disappointing. We haven't got anything to show for our efforts and endeavour. We aren't getting the results but we are putting the effort in.

"It will come but we are not going to throw the baby out with the bath water."
