Credit: Sam Barnes/Sportsfile via Getty Images This afternoon's Leinster vs Scarlets live stream serves up a United Rugby Championship quarter-final with shades of David vs Goliath. The top-seeded Irish province is the superclub that has it all, while the plucky Llanelli outfit is the sole bright spark in Welsh rugby. Below we have all the information on how to watch Leinster vs Scarlets from anywhere. Advertisement There's no fixture more menacing than Leinster at Aviva Stadium, but for all of the superstars and finances at Leo Cullen's disposal, there's a narrative building around the club – and it isn't flattering. Much like PSG during the basketcase years, Leinster is becoming a byword for waste. A team with the likes of James Lowe, Jamison Gibson-Park, Jordie Barrett, Andrew Porter, Ronan Kelleher and Joe McCarthy really ought to be dominating not only the United Rugby Championship but Europe. Instead, Leinster last lifted the URC title in 2021, and the Champions Cup in 2018. Scarlets' 35-22 victory over a second-string Leinster last month helped to inspire their playoff push. Skipper Gareth Davies broke the deadlock on that occasion but hasn't been able to recover from a rib injury, though it was flanker Taine Plumtree who ran the show. Dwayne Plumtree's men, however, are up against a very different Leinster today. Here's where to watch Leinster vs Scarlets live streams online from anywhere, potentially for FREE.

Leinster player ratings as they labour to victory over Scarlets in quarter-final
Leinster didn't have it all their own way against Scarlets in the URC quarter-final in The Aviva. While there were long periods when they dominant this was mixed with a number of occasions where standards dipped. Hugo Keenan was TV Man of the Match although he was pushed closely by Jamison Gibson-Park while Dan Sheehan, despite only coming in for the last half-hour, was particularly noticeable. Hugo Keenan - The type of scrappy game where the full-back's dependability is worth extra. Solid under the high ball, reliable and in the right place in defence. Took his try well. 8 Jimmy O'Brien - Had an uncomfortable day earning his 100th cap as the defensive line looked stretched at times and the Tom Rogers try was the result of a certain amount of confusion. 6 Jamie Osborne - Credit here, starting his first game at second-centre this season. He has been full-back, right-wing, first-centre and left-wing but not no13. A try for his troubles too. 6 Jordie Barrett - Struggled to find his normally excellent rhythm possibly allowing a bit for the idea Jamie Osborne doesn't normally play no13 and making sure their partnership gelled. 6 James Lowe - Constantly available, looking for work. Kept his nerve to stay wide and get the first try. Made a number of hard breaks down his line and was unlucky not to have a spectacular 50/22. 7 Sam Prendergast - Solid, even with Scarlets trying to work through his defensive channel. Won't look forward to review, seeing his half-time flap at the ball that cost Leinster a try. 6 Jamison Gibson-Park - Best player on the pitch through the first-half, pace on everything, ruck arrivals, passing, running. Superb tracking line for his try, the second of the game. 7 Andrew Porter - Highly visible about the park in the first-half exchanges, his energy was part of the reason Leinster gained the upper hand in the first half-hour. Solid in scrum. 7 Rónan Kelleher - Given the nod ahead of Sheehan in part because of his scrummaging excellence and the scrum held firm. Sheehan's introduction gave Leinster a bit extra about the field in attack. 6 Thomas Clarkson - There were worries Scarlets might gain some kind of advantage at scrum-time on the back of their doing so well in the last game but the Leinster tighthead held firm. 6 Joe McCarthy - Clearly up for the game from the get-go, throwing his weight around to mighty effect, his rangy running was probably the most dangerous ground-making threat in the pack. 7 James Ryan - Rumbled about the pitch before being called ashore after 46 minutes, replaced by RG Snyman who was in the wars and pumping blood necessitating his removal before the close. 6 Ryan Baird - Athletic, confrontational, staying wide at times looking for ball in space. Scarlets found him hard to knock over and he is an interesting addition to the Blues attack. 6 Josh van der Flier- Came ashore early having tweaked something trying to defend Scarlets' first try. Came from the field and immediately sat on the bench. Replaced by a busy Scott Penny. n/a Jack Conan - Key part of Leinster's first two tries, good positioning and good hands working in Leinster's favour. Was quick to let Prendergast kick penalties, three taken and worth nine points. 7Replacements: Dan Sheehan 8, Jack Boyle 6, Rabah Slimani 6, RG Snyman 6, Max Deegan 6, Scott Penny 6, Luke McGrath 6, Ciarán Frawley n/a

URC: Leinster and Munster name teams for quarter-finals
British and Irish Lions quartet Jamison Gibson-Park, James Lowe, Joe McCarthy and Josh van der Flier are among those who return to Leinster's starting side for Saturday's BKT United Rugby Championship quarter-final against Scarlets (live on RTÉ2, RTÉ Player and RTÉ Radio 1). In total, Leo Cullen has made six changes to his side following the Round 18 win against Glasgow Warriors. Jamie Osborne and Rónan Kelleher also come into the starting team, among five players who started the 35-22 defeat to the Welsh region last month. Kelleher starts at hooker, with Dan Sheehan dropping to the bench, while Andrew Porter and Thomas Clarkson continue at prop. McCarthy comes in to join James Ryan at lock, while RG Snyman will be primed to come on as a replacement. Jack Conan continues as captain in the absence of Caelan Doris, with Ryan Baird also retaining his place at blindside flanker and Van der Flier taking the place of Scott Penny. Gibson-Park replaces Fintan Gunne at scrum-half, joining Sam Prendergast behind the scrum, while Jordie Barrett continues at 12, and Osborne replaces the injured Robbie Henshaw. Jimmy O'Brien moves from left wing to right and will make his 100th appearance for the province, while Lowe starts on the left, and Hugo Keenan continues at full-back. Leinster: Hugo Keenan; Jimmy O'Brien, Jamie Osborne, Jordie Barrett, James Lowe; Sam Prendergast, Jamison Gibson-Park; Andrew Porter, Rónan Kelleher, Thomas Clarkson; Joe McCarthy, James Ryan; Ryan Baird, Josh van der Flier, Jack Conan (capt). Replacements: Dan Sheehan, Jack Boyle, Rabah Slimani, RG Snyman, Max Deegan, Scott Penny, Luke McGrath, Ciarán Frawley. Munster interim head coach Ian Costello has named the same starting team for the third game in a row for Saturday's quarter-final against the Hollywoodbets Sharks in Durban. Retiring pair Peter O'Mahony and and Stephen Archer are both in the starting team for what could be their final Munster appearances before retirement, while Conor Murray is among the replacements ahead of his departure this summer. There is also a landmark appearance among the subs for centre Rory Scannell, who will make his 200th Munster appearance if selected. The 31-year-old could also be playing his final game for Munster, with his future uncertain. Michael Milne, Niall Scannell and Archer continue in the front row, with Scannell fit to play after departing for a head injury assessment in the win against Benetton two weeks ago. Tadhg Beirne captains the side from second row, where he is joined by Jean Kleyn, with O'Mahony, John Hodnett and Gavin Coombes in the back row. Craig Casey and Jack Crowley team up in an Irish international half-back pairing, with Alex Nankivell and Tom Farrell in the centre as usual. Thaakir Abrahams starts at full-back, with Mike Haley among the subs, while Calvin Nash and Diarmuid Kilgallen are on the wings. Munster Rugby: Thaakir Abrahams; Calvin Nash, Tom Farrell, Alex Nankivell, Diarmuid Kilgallen; Jack Crowley, Craig Casey; Michael Milne, Niall Scannell, Stephen Archer; Jean Kleyn, Tadhg Beirne (C); Peter O'Mahony, John Hodnett, Gavin Coombes. Replacements: Diarmuid Barron, Josh Wycherley, John Ryan, Tom Ahern, Alex Kendellen, Conor Murray, Rory Scannell, Mike Haley.
