More recently he played in the Otago side that lost 19-30 to the British and Irish Lions team in Carlsbrook this summer where he witnessed at first hand an exemplary performance by Scarlets skipper Simon Easterby. 

Scarlets Chief Executive Stuart Gallacher said: “Craig is joining us on a short term contract until the end of the season.  We need the cover with Iestyn Thomas and Phil John out of action for another couple of months yet”.

“Craig is an experienced player and we look forward to welcoming him.”
