Scarlets sign Hurricanes forward Sam Lousi

Scarlets have bolstered their pack for next season with the signing of second row Sam Lousi from the Hurricanes.

The 27-year-old has been a regular for the New Zealand Super Rugby side since making his debut in 2017 and was in the starting line-up that took on the British and Irish Lions the same year.

Born in Auckland, Lousi had previously played for the Waratahs in Australia and rugby league for the New Zealand Warriors.

He is the younger brother of Tonga rugby league international Sione Lousi.
