Scarlets declare interest in Halfpenny
Scarlets would be interested in signing Leigh Halfpenny if he leaves Toulon, according to head coach Wayne Pivac.
Scarlets head coach Wayne Pivac says the club would be interested in signing Leigh Halfpenny if the Wales international should choose to leave Toulon.
Halfpenny moved to the European champions from Cardiff Blues in 2014, but rumours have begun to emerge that he could return to his homeland at the end of the campaign.
The full-back, who is recovering from a knee ligament injury which kept him out of the Rugby World Cup, has been linked with a return to Cardiff, but Pivac is open to the possibility of beginning discussions.
"He's no different to anyone else. If he is serious about returning we'd be interested to talk to him," he told Wales Online.
"We don't have an endless budget, but I've said it earlier and nothing has changed.
"If there's any returning Welsh players we'd like to have the opportunity to talk to them just to check what's going on in the market-place and find out their value."
