The Scarlets have raided the Welsh Indigo Premiership club RGC for a new signing at scrumhalf, with Efan Jones agreeing to join the URC side for the upcoming 2023-24 season.

The 25-year-old, known for his impressive performances with RGC, has been training with the team at Parc y Scarlets.

He joins a talented group of scrum-halves including Wales internationals Gareth Davies and Kieran Hardy, along with Archie Hughes, who is currently part of the Wales U20s squad preparing for the World Championships. Jones had an exceptional season with RGC, scoring 11 tries and receiving both the coaches’ and supporters’ player-of-the-season awards.

He previously represented Wales at the U18 level and trained with the senior squad at Parc y Scarlets. Notably, he scored a hat-trick of tries for Scarlets A in a Celtic Cup match against Ulster four years ago.

“Efan is an exciting player who is coming off a superb season with RGC in the Premiership and deserves his opportunity at this level,” said Scarlets Head Coach Dwayne Peel said. “He will add to a talented pool of nines that we have at the club.”

Speaking during his first week of pre-season, Efan Jones said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for me at the Scarlets and the welcome I have had from players, coaches and staff this week has been brilliant.

“Playing professional rugby has always been my ambition and the chance to develop my game, learning from a Wales and Lions scrum-half in Dwayne, as well as the other coaches here, is huge for me.

“Playing at Parc y Scarlets for RGC was always a highlight. For me, it’s about working hard in pre-season and pushing for a chance to play in front of the fans in a Scarlets jersey. I’d also like to thank the coaches, players and supporters of RGC and wish them well for the new season.”

Jones becomes the latest new signing for the 2023-24 season, following Ioan Lloyd, Tomi Lewis, Alex Craig, Teddy Leatherbarrow and Charlie Titcombe.

Why ‘the curse of the Bambino’ is still stronger than ever at Leinster

What happenned against England in 2023: England had 14 men. Why didnt you win?


Would you have beaten Ireland and France in a quarter in 2023? NZ absolutely hammered you right?


I honestly don’t know what your issue is. Ireland get on very well with Argentinians. You seem to be a boaster and sychohant for Saffers and Kiwis. Weird. Have you any thoughts of your own?


Yes scores on the doors: RWCs 3:1 to Argentina.

Biggest win 53-7 Ireland 2021

20 Tests played: Score 14-6 to Ireland No Argentina wins in Dublin.


Its a long time since Argentina beat Ireland. 2015? That was the year NZ-Arg played in pool match 1. And France and Ireland were scheduled to play eachother 6 days before the QF. Winner gets Argentina, loser gets NZ.

No offense Carlos but France and Ireland beat the sh1te out of each other to avoid playing NZ. The match was brutal. Ireland lost Sexton, O’Brien, O’Connell (career ending injury), O’Mahony, Payne versus France.


Argentina recorded their biggest ever win against Ireland and New Zealand recorded their biggest ever win against France. Fra/Irl conceded 106 points in those quarters.

Even still Ireland fought back and couldn’t score the try to kick on and win.

Were you even old enough to watch that one.


How did Ireland and France get that brutal scheduling?


Well, those in charge of scheduling were ITV, the English RU and the NZRU. So Argentina benefitted directly from corrupt scheduling. Its not only Ireland and France who were hurt: SA were winning in the 3rd quarter versus NZ against 14 men in the semi. NZ scored in that period to win a tight match. If they get an honest test against a rested French team they probably dont win that semi.


Comparing World rankings to actual finishing place, the biggest Tier1 chokers by far in the history of RWC is NZ themselves…and two of those RWCs were at home.


No go back to licking Saffer and Kiwi ass Carlos.
