Just 85 days separate the births of Sam Costelow and Ioan Lloyd.
At times, the fact that Lloyd, like Costelow, is only 22 years old and is in fact a little younger than his future Scarlets team-mate can be easy to forget. Lloyd has perhaps been exposed to a little more in the early stages of his fledgling career than Costelow, after all.
By the time Costelow arrived in Llanelli back in 2020, Lloyd had already made 17 appearances in the Gallagher Premiership for Bristol Bears. A little later on in the same the year, as Costelow was eased into life in west Wales, Lloyd was winning a couple of caps for Wales.
