Scarlets supremo Nigel Davies is exuding a quiet confidence ahead of the new season according to the Western Mail's Simon Roberts.
"While the loss of New Zealander Regan King to French giants Clermont Auvergne in the summer would have once been viewed as a disaster, it is now being seen as sign at the development down West.
Scarlets Jonathan Davies, George North, Morgan Stoddart, Tavis Knoyle, Rhys Priestland, Rob McCusker, Josh Turnbull and Scott Williams are now all Welsh internationals.
Davies clearly sees it that way and admits he is in no rush to splash the cash in an increasingly spiralling market caused by the cash-rich clubs in France.
“If somebody gave me a £1m to spend on players right now, I would be very careful on how I spent it,” said Davies. “I probably wouldn’t want to spend it this season and just throw it away on anyone out there. I certainly wouldn’t spend it on someone who is way past his best. We have to sign the right type of player, person and character."
