Castres tighthead prop Henry Thomas is set to sign for the Scarlets, according to WalesOnline.
It’s that time of year when a lot of departures are announced and the Scarlets have confirmed some particularly high-profile names on their leaving list ahead of their last home game of the season.
The Welsh region, who play their final home game of the 2023/24 season this Saturday versus Ulster, will lose a vast amount of Test-level experience.
Wales don’t feature on the list of Junior World Championship champions. That’s a restricted preserve consisting of only New Zealand, South Africa, England and France.
Wales internationals Leigh Halfpenny, Rhys Patchell, Gareth Davies and Samson Lee have all agreed new deals with the Welsh region.
The Dragons lock could be unavailable until halfway through the pool schedule in Japan.
Wales hope to have Tomas Francis and George North fit to face Tonga, but Samson Lee has left the camp with a hamstring injury.
