Tadhg Beirne has come a long way since being dispatched to Llandovery after the Drovers’ team boss Euros Evans asked the Scarlets for the ‘last second row in your pecking order’.

Within a year, Beirne had won a PRO 12 title with the Scarlets. Twelve months later he was playing in a Heineken Champions Cup semi-final before subsequently walking off with the Guinness players’ player of the season gong at the PRO 14 awards.
