Scarlets Guinness PRO12 Player Records

Wales prop Samson Lee will miss the start of the Guinness Pro12 season after Scarlets physiotherapist Matthew Rees confirmed he will be sidelined for up to 16 weeks due to a shoulder operation.

The Scarlets have secured the signing of South African lock Rynier Bernardo from the Ospreys.

Scarlets have invested in the future by tying down Wales Under-20s Grand Slam-winning pair Shaun Evans and Dafydd Hughes to their first professional contracts.
