Allen immediately feeling at home as he bags try double on Scarlets debut

That didn’t happen and frustration set in, which led to his switch to Parc y Scarlets in the summer.

All four regions are crying out for big ball-carrying forwards and Allen, who won 10 caps for the Wales Under-20 side in 2010, certainly fits that bill.

And he intends to make the most of his second chance a few miles further down the M4 this season.
