Have to be honest and say that if you commute that far, you really must love the job and the package must be right. My daily commute is 225 miles and ive been doing it for 17 years for just that reason. It does limit your free time/family time though
how long does that take you? Good effort
Sadly 2 hours each way as a minimum. Its Llangennech to Tewkesbury and the A465 is and has been, a road works nightmare the entire time. Before the commute I actually lived up and around there so my commute was weekly back to Stradey instead LOL

Well done Sir....but bloody hell that's some mileage. 
In 1972, Roy Bergiers scored that try and said "that was for you lofty"

Cars quake in fear when they arrive with me LOL. The lure of the Scarlets is what drew me home despite the miles. Its a mix of devotion and madnessBig smile

Tomas Lezana has left the Scarlet to join Montauban (immediate effect).

Good player, good attitude, just never got an extended and injury free run with us sadly.

Yes very unfortunate with injuries etc. Medical joker to USM and joins ex-scarlet Paulino there, good luck to him.

Quality player but we never really got to see the best of him. I’d imagine he frees up a sizeable chunk of money. 
Only one team plays in red. (Sorry, Scarlet)

Between him, Blade, and Kal that’s probably a good way towards the new cap.

Yes, I’m sure that it does, We just have to invest that money wisely as any unwise purchase will be seized upon by the WRU and the WOL as another example of the regions squandering money.

Being able to release him early is probably going to mean keeping at least 1 other player that might have ordinarily been released.

Macleod and Dan Davis fit is probably the governing factor in that early release.

And hopefully Luca Giannini in the coming years!

He and most of the other ex-Jaguares players were scrambling around for contracts at the time we picked him up so he might not have been on big money.

Never felt Lezana was a good signing.
Its unfortunate  for him, he  never had a run of games because of injuries.  That can happen to anyone .
He never  seemed to have the attacking dexterity, or turnover skill of a 7, and not quite  the carrying physicality  of a 6.He was committed  however and a good tacker,a decent player , but not of a player on wages of overseas international .
We can better use the cash elsewhere..,second row, would be a start.
I wish him well however in his new life in France.
