Scarlets have lost a total of 19 players
After what has been a disappointing opener to the Heineken Champions Cup action, with defeats to both Racing 92 and Leicester Tigers, the Scarlets focus must now return to Guinness PRO14 action and keeping hold of the second place position in Conference B.
Head Coach Wayne Pivac has named a 26-man squad for the South African adventure but he'll have to do without a total of 19 players.
Twelve players have linked up with Wales in readiness for the Autumn Series with a further seven unavailable.
Lewis Rawlins, James Davies, Jonathan Evans, Aaron Shingler, Tom Prydie and Angus O’Brien are unavailable through injury whilst Kieron Fonotia is suspended until Sunday.
Looking ahead to Friday night clash against Southern Kings head coach Wayne Pivac said; "It’s going to be a good challenge for the boys that are with us and we wish the international boys well and now we return our focus to PRO14.
"We know that we’re going to have to play well and play with a little bit more possession and territory to make it easier on ourselves."

“upon leaving said establishment I tripped over a stool knocking some bottles into the air and as I fell I accidently dislodged a police officer’s teaser who was passing by on an unrelated matter there by landing on said taser which caused it to discharge 50,000 watts into me. Out of shock I shouted Ireland are going to win the world cup. Upon waking up I apologised for the distress caused by my Ireland comment. The matter is closed. If you wish to pursue this matter may I remind you what I told Wayne Barnes when he sent me off. I AM A BIG ASS MAN”. Or was it “I AM A BIG ASS, MAN” or was it “I AM A BIG ASSMAN”?
