Scarlets winger Frazier Climo believes that the Scarlets are in a good place ahead of their tough challenge against Ulster at Ravenhill on Friday evening with a victory in their sights.

With a new sense of confidence amongst the squad after securing three wins from three in recent weeks the Scarlets are still aware that they have a lot of work to do starting with a tough challenge at Ravenhill, Climo said: “It’s definitely going to be a big match, we’re going to have to be at our best. Not many teams go there and come away with points.

“We’ve trained really well and if we put all the things in place that we’ve practiced we’ll give ourselves a good chance.

“Hopefully the weather stays like this and it’ll be a good chance for us to spin the ball wide and have a real crack at them.”

Since his arrival on Welsh soil back in November 2013 New Zealander Climo has made 11 appearances for the Scarlets scoring three tries, against Connacht at the Sportsground and a brace against Benetton Treviso away from home, but admits things didn’t come together as quickly as he would have liked.

“It’s been great since I arrived back in November but it probably took me a little longer to settle in and feel comfortable on the wing over here, the last couple of games I’m starting to hit some form and get some confidence going.

“Winning games certainly helps on a Monday morning, the boys are in a better frame of mind. We’re getting better and better each week in the last month or so. We’re building confidence and there’s a real sort of excitement around the group at the moment.”

The Scarlets will travel to Glasgow after their Ravenhill clash before returning to Parc y Scarlets for a Mother’s Day fixture against Connacht.

Climo went on to say: “We can only concentrate on one game at a time at the moment, we can’t get too far ahead of ourselves otherwise we’ll let it slip.

“We’ve got some big games coming up against Ulster and Glasgow and if we can get points out of these two, we can set ourselves up for a strong run-in and give ourselves a good chance to get into that top four.

“We know how important this game is on the weekend to get four points, we’re excited and looking forward to the challenge.”
