Muderack says the recruitment of Leigh Jones as performance director along with recruitment aimed at bolstering their pack is cause for his optimism at Scarlets.<\/p>\n
“We’ve made some tweaks to the coaching team. Leigh Jones has come in to provide a bit of support to the overall coaching group with a lot of heritage and a lot of passion, when we’ve also made quite a bit of shrewd recruitment over the past 12 months,” said Muderack.<\/p>\n
“We\u2019ve really bolstered our pack up front and then we’ve got some really good, exciting youngsters coming through, which then get a bit of dynamism all over the park for us.<\/p>\n
“We also said goodbye to a generation of talent, but now it’s the opportunity for this group to make their own history and to put their own stamp on this period of time for the club.”<\/p>\n
