Scarlets - Who next?

This is a really obvious question but who will Scarlets appoint to carry on the work that Pivac has done?

For my thinking it will be Stephen Jones, who will also help out when needed with team Wales.

Robyn McBride perhaps? He’ll be cast aside as Pivac looks to bring in his own coaches. McBride is an ex-Scarlet. He hasn’t been a head coach so might be looking for that role somewhere if he wants to further his career above and beyond just being a support coach at international level (a bit like Sean Edwards).

LD, I reckon Jones will go with Pivac to Wales. Can’t see Howley being retained. It’s all about building your coaching team with those you trust and have worked well with before.

Anyone know why Mark Taylor left the region suddenly? Anything to do with Pivac moving on or were there some personal issues he needed to deal with? Very little detail about his departure after the initial news that he was leaving ‘with immediate effect’, which always sounds quite serious.

Stephen Jones looks like he is staying with Llanelli:-
