Exciting news for Scarlets fans! Joe Hawkins is making his grand return to Welsh rugby this weekend, stepping up as fly-half. After his stint with Exeter, the talented player is back in the No. 10 jersey and ready to set the field alight.
The Scarlets are gearing up for their pre-season action, kicking things off with a unique double-header at Llandovery’s Church Bank. They’ll face Llandovery and Carmarthen Quins, each match a swift 40-minute burst, in preparation for the upcoming season.
Joining Hawkins is half-back partner Dane Blacker, fresh from the Dragons, ready to make an impact. Promising talents like Ioan Jones, formerly with Gloucester, are poised to come off the bench, adding to the excitement. The squad looks set with leaders like Ioan Nicholas at the helm and new names eager to shine.
In the scrum, Harri O’Connor returns from injury to stand alongside stalwarts Kemsley Mathias and Harry Thomas. The pack is bolstered by young guns Tristan Davies and Jac Price holding down the second row.
This line-up marks a fresh start and a taste of what’s to come for the Scarlets. Don’t miss out on the action this weekend! 🏉🌟
