2014–15 Scarlets season
Scarlets 2014–15 rugby season
The 2014–15 season was the 12th in the history of the Scarlets Welsh regional rugby union side, in which they competed in the Pro12 , the European Rugby Champions Cup and the Anglo-Welsh Cup . It was head coach Wayne Pivac 's first season in charge of the region, after Simon Easterby left the Scarlets to become Ireland 's forwards coach. In addition to Pivac, Byron Hayward joined the region as a defence coach, while Danny Wilson left for Bristol . In September 2014, Mark Davies stepped down as chief executive to take up a role with Pro Rugby Wales, and was replaced by Darran Phillips.
