He made three starts and four appearances in the tournament.[http://www.itsrugby.co.uk/player-14900.html Itsrugby profile]. Itsrugby (2018) Scarlets were beaten in the semi-final by English side Northampton Saints.[https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/17290213 LV= Cup: Northampton Saints 27-12 Scarlets].
