Rob Evans' shock axe comes amid 'perfect storm' as brutal reality leaves players worried

Rob Evans was released by the Scarlets after 156 appearances over 10 seasons. Evans is looking for a new club. He was not selected for the 2019 World Cup squad. He has had a couple of concussion episodes. His injury problems have cost him valuable game-time. There are other promising props at the club, including Steffan Thomas and Kemsley Mathias. Welsh rugby is tightly run and the salary banding structure controls costs. The expectation is Evans will resurface somewhere. he is still only 30 and he's a seasoned international. It's also a time of belt-tightening across the board in Welsh Rugby.
