Teen Sensation Leggatt-Jones Gets Scarlets Nod
26 Feb
Summary
- Young fly-half Carwyn Leggatt-Jones will start for Scarlets.
- Injuries and international call-ups limit fly-half options.
- Leggatt-Jones previously impressed in a draw at Benetton.
Scarlets will feature 18-year-old Carwyn Leggatt-Jones at fly-half when they face Edinburgh in the United Rugby Championship on Friday. This decision comes as the team experiences a shortage of options at the number 10 position due to injuries and international call-ups.
Key player Sam Costelow is unavailable after being injured during Wales' recent match against Scotland. Additionally, Joe Hawkins, who has also played fly-half this season, remains with the national squad ahead of their game against Ireland next week.
This situation provides an opportunity for Carmarthen schoolboy Leggatt-Jones to continue in the fly-half role. He previously made his first regional start last month in a 20-20 draw against Benetton, where he demonstrated notable maturity.
